"My name is Nick Anderson. I've just come back from Darfur where I witnessed firsthand one of the worst humanitarian crises of our generation. The people of Darfur need your help now. Please support Oxfam's work in Darfur."

Oxfam America's Youth Ambassador

In late July, Oxfam America sent Nick Anderson (above, right), an 18-year-old rising high school senior, on a one-month mission to Sudan.
