The following is from the Fair Trade Federation website. "Fair
trade is a system that not only aims to pay fair wages, but also
to support participatory workplaces; ensure environmental
sustainability; supply financial and technical support; respect
cultural identity, offer public accountability, and educate
consumers about the choices that they can make in their regular
shopping habits. Fair trade businesses foster long-term and
direct relationships with producers in the developing world,
because they know these connections are a highly effective way
to help producers help themselves. Fair trade is not about
charity; it uses a fair system of exchange to empower producers
and to create sustainable development". This is a great
definition of fair-trade and it accurately reflects what we do
each day. Running a fair trade business is very rewarding… not
financially, but emotionally. I know we are improving the lives
of many people in Nepal and India and we greatly appreciate your
help and support. What does that
