     "Oxfam" is the short form for the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (全国饥荒救济委员会). It is an
international organization to help the poor all over the world. It was started in 1942 in England during the
Second World War to provide relief to war victims in Europe. When the war was over, Oxfam continued its
work, sending materials and money to the poor throughout Europe. Since then, Oxfams have been founded in
12 countries, such as Oxfam America, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam Hong Kong and so on.
     Twenty-eight years later, a group of volunteers started Oxfam America. It was first in Washington, DC,
then in 1973 Oxfam America moved to Boston. In England, Oxfam organizes many charity activities every
year to raise money. It also runs many charity shops. The shops receive things donated by people and sell
them to those who need them. The money from the sales will be used to help the homeless and the poor in
