"Flog your watch for Sudan"
Oxfam Community Aid Abroad is calling on Australians to auction their watches, clocks or anything they can spare to help raise desperately needed funds for the Sudan Crisis Appeal, as time is running out for the people of Sudan. Andrew Hewett said "Australians can help stop the clock for over a million people suffering in Sudan and Chad by auctioning their watches or anything they have and donating the proceeds to our Sudan Crisis Appeal". Kozminsky, the Melbourne based jeweller is donating one of their beautiful timepieces to Oxfam Community Aid Abroad for auction on eBay. All proceeds will go to the Sudan Crisis Appeal. Check out the Kozminsky auction on eBay, and make a bid or even run your own auction and sell your own watch, clock or collectable.
