I began One Week Job by accepting offers throughout Canada. At the same time that I had the idea for the project, a friend brought to my attention the issue of child poverty in Canada.

Instead of working for free, I decided this would also be a good opportunity to bring some money and awareness to this issue. I chose the Make Poverty History campaign because ending child poverty in Canada is on their main platform.

As I have started to receive offers in the United States and elsewhere, it made sense that donations in lieu of my wages be made to the affiliated organization of the Make Poverty History campaign in the respective country.
