The 12th of May is WORLD FAIR TRADE DAY! World Fair Trade Day is a global day of celebration of Fair Trade – around the world over 1,000,000 people will be doing something to mark the day.

To find out more about Fair Trade Day visit their website www.wftday.com. On Saturday people all over the world will be CELEBRATING FAIR TRADE in their own unique way, some events are quite large, some are tiny and could just be a few people getting together for tea.

The object of the day is to spread the word – tell someone who does not know about Fair Trade, enlighten them as to what it is all about.

So I thought I would let you now about something happening in our community, The Foodbarn Deli will be celebrating with a Bean There Fair Trade Coffee Day.

For every coffee bought at the Deli {sit-down only} on Saturday, Pete and Franck will donate R5 towards buying coffee harvesting equipment for a group of Rwandan coffee producers. So go along and support them, the more coffee you drink on Saturday, the more equipment they can buy for the farmers {and they make awesome coffee!}. For more information on their coffee partner in this initiative, click on to the Bean There website.
