UP COMING ACTIVITIES


Fair Trade Christmas Market
Get some Fair Trade products such as coffee, hot chocolate, panela (raw sugar), jewels, scarves, tuques, etc. We just received fair trade tea and chocolate bars as well.
All these products are high quality and come from small communities in northern Peru.
By purchasing Fair Trade, we are encouraging better working conditions and better prices for producers, development of health and school facilities in local communities and, on top of all this, less polluting farming.
Our students, participating in Eco St. Lo and in the local Amnesty group, want to make people at our College aware of the great added-value of Fair Trade.
There will be a table in the main hall (2nd floor) at lunchtime from December 1st to the 4th.
Please stop by to have a look at the Fair Trade selection. We also prepare Christmas baskets.
