Just Trading Scotland (JTS), a not-for-profit fair trade organisation, has challenged schools, as well as churches, colleges and other organisations, to sell 90kg of rice – which is the amount of rice sold that would enable a Malawian farmer to pay for a year’s basic secondary education for one child. As you may have heard, Neilston Primary have decided to take on this 90kg Rice Challenge!
We will be selling rice for £3.00 during lunchtime for the duration of Fairtrade Fortnight – Monday 29th February to Friday 11th March 2016. If you have any questions or would like more information regarding JTS or the Challenge, please feel free to visit www.jts.co.uk, emailing info@jts.co.uk or calling 0141 887 2882.
