Video Transcript

Voices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: We work for Oxfam Canada.

Voice 1: Like so many organizations and businesses, Oxfam closed its office when COVID-19 hit Canada in the spring of 2020, and all of our staff started working from home – including me.

Voices 2, 3, 4, 5: And me.

Voice 2: In our family, working and living in the same space has not always been easy.

Voice 4: But at Oxfam Canada…

Voices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5: …we know that our work is more important than ever.
