Hi Everyone, and Happy Fairtrade Fortnight!
Here's a link for a new short film made about the Fairtrade Fun Day at Amman Valley School and the 500 mile Fairtrade Bike Ride which came through Ammanford last year. Anyone who would like a DVD version to show anywhere, please let me know.

Also : Lots of schools and groups have been unable to get any fairtrade cotton bunting as the demand has been so great that the fairtrade foundation ran out of stock (over 40 miles of bunting!). I have one pack which I am dividing up among local groups who want to get involved in the world record attempt for the longest strip of bunting ever. If anyone wants a piece, let me know.
Feel free to pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested.
Thanks!

Fair Trade Fortnight in Carmarthenshire SCHOOLS - 2011
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
http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/includes/documents/cm_docs/2010/s/schools_action_guide_insert_f14_2011.pdf
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.
