Last count 10 done, 4 to go! So how am I getting on the last few challenges from the Fairtrade Fortnight Member Challenge list?
Well first thing Tuesday morning saw me in Tesco handing in campaign postcards – asking them to carry on stocking Divine. I’ve also publicised this campaign to my church e-group so hopefully Tesco’s will get a few cards – you can join in by downloading the campaign card from Christian Aid.
Then after a couple of meetings in Edinburgh, I headed down to Dumfries yesterday afternoon. I was on the panel at the Fair Trade film/debate evening organised by the local Fairtrade Group. It was a great evening. We watched four good short films: “Fields of Gold” a fairly old film about Fairtrade bananas and the difference they make to families in the Windward Islands, “Matthew’s Story” a Co-operative film narrated by Matthew and giving child’s perspective on Fairtrade, “Changing Lives – the Fairtrade Story” highlighting the link between Fairtrade cocoa from Ghana and consumers in Wales and finally “Recipe for Disaster” a Christian Aid film on Trader Justice. The films and others on Fairtrade, except Matthew’s story, can be seen on the Community channel website.
So two more complete and just two to go! I still haven’t got my camera out for the photo challenge and I need to try a new fairly traded product!
