Some of you lucky activists have already lined up free tickets to Glastonbury by working for Oxfam this year (places still available for WOMAD \u2013 check out http:\/\/www.oxfam.org.uk\/get_involved\/stewarding\/index.html). Oxfam has a long and proud history with the Glastonbury festival, and this year we will be sharing a special space with the other Glastonbury charity partners, Water Aid and Greenpeace. This will be a quiet zone where festival-goers can kick off their shoes and relax in the hay bales next to some calming water pools. These pools will contain little bottles with messages from supporters and staff saying what the charity means to them. We\u2019ve got five spare bottles we\u2019d like to fill with messages from our activists \u2013 yes that\u2019s you!<\/p>\n

What does Oxfam mean to you? What do Oxfam\u2019s campaigns mean to you? What would the world be like without Oxfam\u2019s campaigns over the years? How do you feel when you\u2019re campaigning for Oxfam? Be eloquent, be inspired, be thought-provoking. You\u2019ve 50 words to inspire a probably tired but very happy festival-goer (they\u2019ll also have a chance to respond with their own message). Send your 50 words to me (fremnant@oxfam.org.uk) by 4th June and we\u2019ll let you know if you made it into the pool. And if you\u2019re at Glastonbury remember to check out the oasis when you need some positive calm…<\/p>\n
