Oxfam


Oxfam is one of the biggest charities. It means enormous amount of volunteers constitute the organisation. I have recently joined a branch of the charity. Despite I just started working, I am absolutely satisfied with my work. My position is called customer service as typical workers in a bookstore – my store is especially specialised in books. The reason why I made up my mind to work for it is to have a good experience with something new. As I thought, it has phenomenally been an impressive experience. At the first day of working for Oxfam, I saw some people who were volunteers like me. The interesting fact is almost all of them have been working without paid except the manager, even they are British - there are 5people who are 4British and 1 foreign guy. According to one of my colleagues, many people after redundancy try out finding that kind of job like he does. Probably the best way to spend the times after giving up working might ironically be working which is far better than doing nothing.
Anyway I want to do well. Please cross your fingers for my new activity.

Your try seems to be good for a experience and learning the english. Please let me see your picture working in the Oxfam.

Sure :-) I will be taking photos as soon as I can. I presume, it is likely to take at the lower limit to 2weeks. The expected reason is probably I am not really familiar with my colleagues yet - I merely work on every single Saturday.
