Fairtrade at The Douglas-Ewart High School

Fairtrade Literature
This lunch time I went to the Douglas-Ewart High School with Fairtrade literature, bunting and Fairtrade samples. I went as part of the Co-op's Fairtrade Fortnight a time when we like to talk about Fairtrade and bring the ethical questions and products it produce to the fore.

I turned up and set up my table and I sat and waiting for lunchtime to begin. There was soon a flurry of activity but the children were walking past me and didn't look as if they wanted to engage with me, so I started to tell the passers by that I was giving away free Fairtrade samples. Word must have got around because then lots of kids were coming over. Some spoke to me, some engaged with me about Fairtrade and most enjoyed the goodies. I had taken along dark, white and milk chocolate,
Indian Prince tea and English Breakfast tea bags, mini tomatoes, and bananas. I did wonder if I had gone a bit mad taking tea bags, but no, the kids loved them!

I had taken a whole box of bananas with me, everyone loves a banana don't they? I had only opened a few bags, but I soon had to open all the bags and the table was cleared of samples.
