To start Fair Trade Fortnight in Carmarthenshire with a bang, Wyn Williams the Head of Education Services will be raising the first Fair Trade flag to be awarded to a primary school in the county at Llanddarog primary school.
The School meals service will be playing their part in the celebrations and special Fair Trade puddings will be available in primary schools
The theme of Fair Trade fortnight this year is “cotton”. The Fair Trade Foundation have published a School Action Guide which can be found at the web address below

Cotton Bunting
This Fair Trade Fortnight, one of the many ways to show off about Fair Trade will be to paint, draw or sew a piece of Fair Trade cotton bunting to express what Fair Trade means to you. We then want people to get loud and proud by hanging the bunting in prominent places that will get lots of attention – like your local event, in your shop or somewhere more public.
When Fairtrade Fortnight's over, we're going to stitch them all together in an attempt to break the world record for the longest continual piece of bunting to help tell more people about how Fairtrade cotton protects the livelihoods of cotton farmers in West Africa and India.
