FAIR TRADE WORKS
Perhaps you drink Fair Trade coffee at coffee hour following church service. Maybe your congregation even holds Fair Trade Fairs. But do you know how Fair Trade works? Who benefits from your Fair Trade purchases? How does the practice of Fair Trade improve the lives of people all over the world? Join LWR Fair Trade Project Coordinator Kattie Somerfeld and Bill Weaver, LWR’s Regional Representative for Nicaragua to learn how Fair Trade changes lives. There is a story behind every cup of Fair Trade coffee, a community affected by every bar of Divine Chocolate. Learn about the people, places, community and lives affected by your decision to buy Fair Trade and work toward a more just world.
