Bah humbug! Wales marks White Band Day 3 Wales marked World White Band Day 3 in full seasonal style, with a rewrite of the pantomime 'Scrooge' performed in the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Bay. The show was written and pulled together in just seven days by Oxfam and Amnesty campaigners and volunteers from the 'Hungry Us' Comedy, with support from Dr Bela Arora and Dr Pete Kerr of Hullaballoo Comedy Promotions, and Swansea / Birmingham based development academics. Scrooge, a trade commissioner to the WTO, is putting the finishing touches to his 'deals' the night before the Hong Kong Summit, when he is visited by three ghosts - Christmas Past, Present and Future. He sees a WTO Summit in 2050 where the last remaining resources of developing countries are auctioned off to multinational corporations, leaving no nations or people. "Put your past BEHIND YOU! and Make Trade Fair in Hong Kong," goes the cry. Will he not see the error of his ways? Or he will have to walk the earth through all eternity, weighed down not by chains... but by the biggest white band ever made! The cast and audience - along with Make Poverty History campaigners and the Directors of Oxfam, Christian Aid and Friends of the Earth - then took Scrooge's white band outside where they wrapped it around Cardiff Bay's Pierhead Building - the international symbol of Wales' own global trade, and of Cardiff Bay where the first £1 million cheque in world trade history was signed.

A lonely hearts column? Come on - time to move on people! By  Anonymous, February 17, 2006 1:17 PM   Good question ? Wait until feb 14 2007 for more posts ? Send an Oxfam ethical Valentine card instead ? This thread does seem more popular than other threads on the Oxfam web site. A more interesting question is the changes in the asembly's remit towards funding for relief efforts. Perhaps Oxfam Wales could comment on this , or maybe the Blog Admin could write something about this ?
