If you sell FAIRTRADE - I'll buy it!

IF YOU SELL FAIR TRADE - I'LL BUY IT!

This evening I got to attend a fairtrade fortnight "GIRLS ONLY Fondue night" = so awesome. We drank fairtrade tea n coffee n made fondue from fairtrade chocolate *:-) ANNND we hung out in community and learned to knit = even more awesome!

Deliciousness that means a fair wage for those who sell it.

Mmmmm Fondue!

My MAD knitting skills - one peggy square done!

There's heaps of projects around that call people to knit these wee 10cmx10cm 8ply squares that then get sewn up to make a blanket for someone who needs it. I think the plan is to put the squares we knitted tonight together to help someone out - maybe as our skills progress we can be more usefull!

This is a watch this space kind of post... an inspiring and empowering night all round. MAD SKILLS!

And mega thanks to Christiana for hosting us. If your keen to check out whats going on in your community promoting fair trade click here.
