Talk:The Oaktree Foundation

[edit] NPOV

This page reads like it was taken from the mission statement of this organisation. It needs some serious NPOV work if it is to even come close to wikipedia's standards.

I don't think it's "the worlds" first youth driven organisation? anyone else know? Australia perhaps?

I agree. The use of the first person in description of the organisation's values ("Our vision is of young people learning through partnership; young people in the developed world using and expanding their knowledge and skills to help young people in the developing world gain access to quality education") is particularly grating. --Schrodinger's Cat 01:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree, I am actually a member of the organisation and i'm assuming someone wrote it as a one off contribution to Wikipedia, raising awareness of the organisation. --Master Spiky 7:44 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I made this initally, and seeing as we have consensus (i think), i'll change it. Feel free to do so to. This page needs much updating... It was a rushed job to begin with...

Also? How to we take down this neturality disputed thing? (seeing as no one has deputed the need for change)

[edit] Categorization

I am removing categorization for 'international development agencies' and 'international development multilaterals'. These categories should be used for official development assistance (ODA). Multilaterals are World Bank, United Nations, European Union, while the 'agencies' category is for bilaterals such as Government of Sweden, Great Britain, USA, Japan etc. The categorization of the Oaktree Foundation as an NGO and charity appears to be both correct and sufficient.
