As Fairtrade fortnight is upon us I just wanted to let you know that there may be events happening in your area. There are many events for children to get involved and have fun whilst learning more about fair-trade and how important it is to the lives of many people in developing countries. Just follow the link and enter ‘children’ in the search.
At GCOM it is important to us that the products on our website come from ethical sources, that no-child labour has been used and that the people making the products get a fair wage. Some of our products carry the official fairtrade logo. So, to celebrate and support Fairtrade Fortnight look out for special offers on our website, http://www.greenchildofmine.com/ from 23rd february - 8th March.
We will also be exhibiting our products at the Reebok Stadium Fairtrade Market in the Premier Suite on Monday 2nd March between 5-8pm. Visit http://www.boltonfairtrade.org.uk/ to find out more about Fairtrade in Bolton.
FACT: Two billion people – a third of humanity – still survive on less than $2 a day. Unfair trade rules keep them in poverty, but they face the global challenges of food shortages and climate change too. Fairtrade is a people’s movement for change that aims to tip the balance of trade in favour of poor producers. We all need Fairtrade more than ever and we all have the power to create positive change for people and planet.
Make it happen. Choose Fairtrade.
