FAIRTRADE SHOOL OF THE MONTH

Ammanford's year of celebration has certainly got off to a good start, with the town's Nursery School winning Fair Trade Wales' "School of the Month" award for January, recognising the range of Fairtrade awareness raising the school has done with children, parents and in the community.

Ysgol Masnach Deg y Mis

Mae blwyddyn dathlu Rhydaman wedi dechrau’n dda gyda’r ysgol Feithrin yn derbyn Gwobr “Ysgol y Mis” Masnach Deg Cymru ar gyfer Ionawr. Mae hyn yn cydnabod y gwaith mae’r ysgol wedi ei wneud i godi ymwybyddiaeth Masnach Deg gyda’r planr, rhieni a’r gymuned.

Fairtrade Ways

One of the major campaigning projects for Fairtrade campaigners in Wales this year is developing a network of Fair Trade Ways throughout Wales. Phil Broadhurst has been working with Carmarthenshire Council's Rights Of Way department on creating the first officially waymarked Fair Trade Way in Wales, which will go from Ammanford to Carmarthen, with a suggested overnight stop at Fronlas. Phil says "The idea of the Fair Trade Way walks is really taking off. There will soon be a website where people can find, or put up their own Fair Trade walks. We are also hoping more B&Bs in Carmarthenshire and throughout Wales will follow Fronlas' lead and go Fairtrade."

Llwybr Masnach Deg

Un o’r priosectau mwyaf ar gyfer ymgyrchwyr eleni fydd datblygu rhywdwaith o Lwybrau masnach Deg ar draws Cymru.

Mae Phil Broadhurst, un o brif ymgyrchwyr Grwp masnach Deg Rhydaman wedi bod yn gweithio gyda Adran Hawl Tramwy Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin i greu y Llwybr Masnach Deg cyntaf yng Nghymru, a fydd yn mynd o Rhydaman i Gaerfyrddin, gyda awgrym o aros noson yn Fronlas. Yn ol Phil –

“Mae’r syniad o lwybrau Masnach Deg yn cydio yn y dychymyg. Yn fuan bydd yna wefan ble gall pobl ffeindio gybodaeth am, a rhoi llwybr Masnach Deg eu hunain ifyny. Rydym hefyd yn gobeithio y bydd yna fwy o B&Bs yn Sir Gaerfyrddin a thrwy Gymru yn dilyn esiampl Fronlas amynd yn Fasnach Deg”.
