The International Volunteer Group aims to create awareness within Japan about the issues Oxfam deals with, and raises funds to support Oxfam’s work. We are an entirely volunteer-run group of people from all over the world with a desire to make a difference!

Our twice-monthly English Workshops give participants a chance to learn in-depth about particular issues and express their opinions.
