A stall was set up at the reception selling Fair Trade products and leaflets about Fair Trade were distributed.  These leaflets were produced by secondary school students and printed professionally on recycled paper.

During the morning the mothers who were here for the activity could visit the Home Economics room where a group of secondary school students were cooking chocolate chip cookies made mostly with Fair Trade ingredients.

Cake Baking day!

Another stall was set up with cakes made mostly with Fair Trade ingredients.  These cakes had been previously made by a group of students and teachers in the Home Economics room of the school.  A free recipe book was given with each cake sold.  These recipes were compiled by a group of students and teachers and printed on recycled paper.

The mothers and other visitors visiting the school showed a great interest in all the information about Fair Trade and besides supporting the cause by buying Fair Trade products, they also gave donations.

Through this activity, the school managed to give its share by informing the wider community about an issue which needs to be tackled urgently, as many people in third world countries are working from dawn to dusk but not getting a fair wage for all their hardship.
