Annual Fair Trade Fiesta, All Gathered to Support Small Farmers!
To echo with the World Fair Trade Day, we organised our 3rd Fair Trade Fiesta with the theme of ‘Fairness inside you” at Metroplaza. We invited Fair Trade Ambassadors Ms Leila Tong and Ms. Eman Lam to demonstrate how to make two delicious Fair Trade snacks and Junior Chamber International Hong Kong to share their feedback from visiting small farmers in Sri Lanka.

This year, the fiesta is extended to the entire May with a bunch of original and fun events! We collaborated with 8104 life to design a dinner with the theme of ‘When Local farmers met with Fair Trade’. Participants enjoyed a cozy meaningful evening with a full stomach. We also invited the CEO of the world’s first Fair Trade wine brand THANDI to organise a wine tasting event, and share his amazing journey from being a poor African kid to become a winery manager. To bring Fair Trade to everyday life, we collaborated with
Shell to shelf Fair Trade products at gas stations around Hong Kong.

To further spread Fair Trade concept, we collaborated with Oxfam Macau to organize Coffee Grounds Tie-dye Workshops and Chocolate Blind Tasting Workshop in several schools in Macau. Students not only can have a taste on Fair Trade products, but also understand more about the plight encountered by the producers in developing countries, and how to empower themselves to change the world as a consumer.
