23,542,614 Stand Up Against Poverty
 Dressed in fetching white boiler suits, Generation Why and loads of willing volunteers travelled to Trafalgar Square yesterday to help celebrate a new Guinness World Record. In 24 hours 23.5 million people from more than 100 countries joined together to Stand Up Against Poverty, setting the record for the largest "single coordinated movement of people".
From a gigantic human chain across 64 districts of Bangladesh, to an anti-poverty concert in Zimbabwe, all sorts of people and events were involved. It's pretty amazing what people think of and can achieve when trying to make an impact. To have a look for yourself at the thousands of events that happened worldwide take a look at the main Oxfam site or read Nicholas's article on his own poverty busting antics in Leeds.
