Fairtrade Event at Tomatitos

Over on the Fairtrade Hay blog, I've written a report of the film and speakers who were at Tomatitos on Monday night. It was a great night, and I learned a lot about Malawi and Nicaragua. There have been serious floods in Malawi this year, and £109.60 was raised for the flood relief fund. This will be doubled to 219.20 by Shared Interest, the Fairtrade loans organisation.

Tomorrow night at Fairfields, Clifford, (up from the school, opposite Green Lane Farm) there will be soup and bread from 12 noon to 2.30pm, and Palestinian olive oil tasting. There will also be a collection for the Lady of Grace Convent, who help families in Bethlehem. I use Zaytoun Palestinian olive oil when I can, and it's very nice indeed.
