Get involved in Fair Trade

As globalization is clearly producing winners and losers, Christians need to respond. In addition to the information in your May issue, I would like to add a few additional points of information. First, there are other Presbyterian churches involved in Fair Trade. PRESCRAFT in Cameroon has been assisting artisans to find markets for over 40 years. Ten Thousand Villages has a long-term trading relationship with PRESCRAFT and their products are available at our stores. Secondly, congregations across Canada from many denominations are organizing Ten Thousand Villages Festival Sales (weekend sales organized on a volunteer basis and run out of a church or community centre). Last year over 50 congregations were involved.
