Hi there, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the Steering Group, volunteers, supporters, donators of gifts, Fairtrade Quizzers, Fairtrade Lunchers, Scouts, teachers, students and everyone else who made Fairtrade Fortnight 2010 such a huge success, you really do make a huge difference! Thank you Nicky Terry

If you want to find out more about our work on the island, maybe volunteer to join the committee or just give us some encouragement, all will be welcomed at 7pm for the AGM

Today we have been privileged to have Comfort Kumeah and Tano Kojo, Fairtrade farmers from Ghana, and Laura Blake, Marketing Manager and Wendy Rowan, Sales Manager, Divine Chocolate Ltd with us in Guernsey. They have had an exhausting program round lots of schools along with visits to Specsavers, mondomundi and Oxfam. There is still time to catch them if you pop along to Pelicans at Kings from 7pm this evening. I hope those present on the school visits will add some comments on how they went – and I hope to add something about the Pelicans event in the morning. A big thank you to Divine for coming over and bringing lots of chocolate with them.
