FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 29th Feb \u2013 13 March 2016<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

So maybe this morning you enjoyed coffee from Kenya, cocoa from Cote d\u2019Ivoire, tea from India, sugar from Malawi and juice from Brazilian oranges\u2026not forgetting bananas from Colombia!
\nHopefully they were Fairtrade<\/span>!<\/strong>
\nFifty years on from Martin Luther King\u2019s famous speech, our lives are more closely entwined than ever. That is why it is a scandal that the people who grow the food we take for granted can\u2019t always feed their own families. \u00a0 They do not have food security.
\nWe can do something to tackle this injustice and support farmers and workers to put food on their families\u2019 tables, by harnessing the power of a Fairtrade <\/span><\/strong>breakfast<\/span>.<\/span>
\nGet behind Fairtrade Fortnight<\/span><\/strong> and join in the\u2026

You might have a bowl of Fairtrade<\/span><\/strong> muesli with a cup of Fairtrade<\/span><\/strong> tea at home, a coffee break with Fairtrade<\/span> <\/strong>chocolate muffins at work, attending a BIG BREAKFAST<\/span><\/strong>, or grabbing a Fairtrade<\/span> <\/strong>banana and orange juice\u2026they all count \u2013 as long as they are registered.
