Fairtrade Fortnight starts this Sunday! And this year, Oxfam is partnering with the Fairtrade Association to bring out two fascinating speakers to tour here and in New Zealand.
Senarath Yatigammana from Bio Foods in Sri Lanka (the organisation behind Oxfam’s new Fair tea range) and Cecilia Granadino from MINKA Fair Trade in Peru will be touring, answering your questions and appearing at a number of special events.
So take the opportunity to talk directly with Senarath and Cecilia and find out just how Fairtrade works in practice, and how their communities have benefited from your choice to switch to Fairtrade.
What would you like to say to the person who picks your tea? Join us online for one of these live events:
- 3pm Friday 6 May – Senarath and Cecilia
- 3pm Friday 13 May – Senarath
- 3pm Wednesday 18 May – Cecilia
Senarath will be appearing in person at various events around the country, including some Oxfam meet-and-greets, to which you are invited! Come along and hear about his experiences with fairtrade in Sri Lanka.
