Fairtrade Fortnight, Flash Mobs, and Odd Socks!

So first up: the official FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT! From the 5th to the 20th of May, Fairtrade is holding a fortnight full of Celebrating the wonderful work Fairtrade is doing in our world! More details about this event coming in soon, but you can check out the website @ http://www.fta.org.au/node/762 ! Next up, today in Salamanca square in Hobart, young members of the Oaktree foundation gathered and performed a flash mob singing to the song by the Beatles "Revolution!" Almost 100 people took part, and it was a great hit! After the song, Live Below the Line was promoted throughout the square! And last but not least, our annual Odd Sock Wednesday is being held this Wednesday - tell your friends, colleagues, family and neighbors! And don't forget to sign up before Live Below the Line as this is the last week before the event!

Live Below the Line

Lots of you would know that very soon The Oaktree Foundation's businessweek challenge LIVE BELOW THE LINE is coming up. This is a huge and amazing event, that EVERYONE should get involved with.

The rules are simple-live on $2 a day for food from Monday the 7th to Friday the 11th of May.
There are two ways to get involved:
- if you're not up to the challenge, you can donate to someone who is doing it (all funds raised go towards establishing schools in third world countries)
- if you are up to the challenge, do it!
