Rita Verity replied to Gabriele Conradie's discussion Dissertation - Fair Trade"Hello Gaby
If you can get to Saarbrucken I am sure you would get sufficient information to write a book!
They are the first Fairtrade Town in Germany and hold 150 events per year, evidence of support is everywhere.
Good luck
Rita"

Fair Intents at Bronte Parsonage Meadow
September 11, 2010 at 12pm to September 12, 2010 at 4pm
Not entirely a Fairtrade event but Haworth Fairtrade Group have always thought an Ecofair would benefit the local community, Fair Intents is on September 11 and 12 in the Bronte Parsonage Meadow and a Fairtrade Cafe in the Bronte Schoolrooms. We don't expect most of you on this forum to attend (not very eco!) but you can follow our progress on www.fairintents.org.uk

- Hello Rita and thank you for asking.
I'm have some companies in Iceland and one of them is a Not-for-profit that is supposed to finance creating an Fairtrade Organization presence in Iceland. What about you?

I was reading an essay about Fair Trade and looked it up, and joined this site. I hope my involvement here can bring a change to the lives of the farmers out there.
looking forward to working with all of you to make a better world to everyone! :D
