The Eco/Fairtrade committee did a brilliant Fairtrade Assembly to launch Fairtrade Fortnight.

Article 29 (goals of education)
Education must develop every child’s
personality, talents and abilities to the
full. It must encourage the child’s respect
for human rights, as well as respect
for their parents, their own and other
cultures, and the environment.

The talked about the work Fairtrade does, the difference between Fairtrade and non-Fairtrade products and what Fairtrade does apart from give more money to farmers.
