Happy Halloween!

I know I'm a little bit late... midterms were a killer this semester! Every year dedicated Oxfam-ers get together on campus to hand out fair trade chocolate. This raises awareness to the student body about what fair trade is and why it is so great in a fun and yummy way. The reverse trick-or-treating is also done by going door to door dressed up and handing out chocolate and brochures. Such an amazing idea, get dressed up and do it yourself next year or even hand out fair trade chocolate at your door. Just Us! sponsored our event but Global Exchange is a good way to find out more information. Meal Exchange was also around campus, collecting food and raising awareness about poverty. Two organizations making Halloween even more amazing than it already is! Poverty is super scary so keep it in mind next year when decorating the house, getting into costume and eating delicious snacks.
