Friday night, ONE volunteers in Des Moines joined Oxfam at a Coldplay concert to create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice around the world, writes one.org. Volunteers talked to over 1,000 people to encourage them to tell President Obama the make a fair deal when the global climate conference occurs in December.
Natural disasters are known to hit the poorest populations the hardest, but this can be prevented by building stronger foundations and infrastructure. ONE members gave the volunteer coordinator for Oxfam on the Coldplay tour, Soha Yassine, a ONE pin that she now always wears with her backstage pass. The partnership shows that when we come together to raise awareness we can truly help the world’s poorest people.
