Soccer players of all ages, parents, coaches and teachers are encouraged to learn about the power of their soccer ball choices Volo Athletics has distributed thousands of fair trade soccer balls to universities, schools, retailers, clubs, international non-profits, corporations and individual players - literally around the world. James Milligan, CEO and Founder of Volo Athletics, will be in Nanaimo talking with students, parents, teachers and other buyers about the benefits and opportunities when purchasing Fair Trade Soccer balls.

Ethical shopping choices are a growing priority for many people, and this is an opportunity to learn about the power of fair trade, and the challenges of building a fair trade business. The fair trade label means that these soccer balls have been certified and that their manufacturing process meets certain social, economic and environmental standards. There is an assurance against the use of child labour, a commitment to fair wages for workers, and premiums for social programs from every ball. Being a Fairtrade Certified and FIFA performance quality soccer ball, VOLO shows we can have both great performance and great story.

James will be at Global Village Nanaimo and will be talking about why buying Fair Trade makes sense, whether you are purchasing a single ball, or a large quantity. No purchase is neccessary. Parents, Grandparents, Coaches, Players, Retailers and Teachers are all welcome!
