February 2018 Update

At today’s meeting the group looked at a Powerpoint which explained about the upcoming Malawi Farmers 90kg Rice Challenge which will begin in the school on the 5th March during Fairtrade Fortnight. We discussed promotion, recipes, ideas and allocated jobs to ensure it will be a success. A letter / leaflet will be designed by the younger members and given out to pupils detailing information about the Rice Challenge and our upcoming Coffee Afternoon which will take place on Thursday 8th March at 1.45p.m.

In addition, Renfrewshire has been most fortunate this year in that two coffee producers from Malawi are in Scotland for a short visit. Three members of our team have been invited to the Rainbow Turtle Fairtrade Event in Paisley on 5th March to meet the producers and learn more about the part we play in Fairtrade.
