Williamston Primary School was represented at the National Fair Trade Schools Conference by some of our International Group reps and our Head Boy and Head Girl. The conference took place on Monday 23rd February in the Glasgow City Chambers. Speakers included Martin Rhodes, the Director of the Scottish Fair Trade Forum, Humza Yasouf MSP, the Minister for International Development and External Affairs, and Andy Ashcroft from the Kool Skools company. The star guest was Pamela L’Intelligent, a machinist from the Craft Aid company who had travelled all the way from Mauritius. She gave a first-hand account of the impact Fair Trade has had on her, her family and her community. Children participated in a Fair Trade song and quiz and the school was gifted a Fair Trade football. It was a very interesting and informative morning!<\/p>\n
