Fair Trade Group update
The new Fair Trade team is up and running and working hard to promote Fair Trade. We have decided we need to shout about the products we are selling and why choosing Fair Trade supports farmers and small producers in the developing world. As a start, pupils are creating a very colourful banner to be displayed on our table when we are selling at our tuckshop or providing teas and coffees to the community. We are using 'scrap' materials and many thanks to the Health and Food Technology department for helping with the spectacular tie dyeing of the background material, a piece of an old curtain!
We will be selling ethically traded crafts from the 'One World Shop' at the PIP Christmas Fayre on 24th November at Currie CHS. So come along and visit our stall for gifts that are just a bit different and where your purchase will benefit some people in the developing world who are working hard to support their families and communities.
