Why not include the Fair Trade Global Market in your shopping plans this holiday season? This festive and fun event will be held in the Timberline Secondary School gym on Saturday, December 5th from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Enjoy shopping for unique and beautiful items while supporting fair trade and environmentally sustainable projects from around the world.
This year, over 25 vendors will be participating and selling products from many different countries. There will be a great selection of quality woven textiles and other products from Comercio Justo, a Cumberland based organization, which promotes fair commerce in Guatemala by buying directly from the Mayan people. The Gathering Place, based on Cortes, will be selling fair trade sea salt, spices and teas. Locally hand-crafted African AIDS Angels will be on sale with all proceeds supporting AIDS relief projects in Southern Africa.
Our local C. R. Grandmothers to Grandmother groups (in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation) will be at the market again this year. They will be selling a variety of items including delectable baked goods, seasonal greenery and wonderful crafts. Take a break from shopping to enjoy a cup of fair-trade coffee, a snack or lunch prepared by Timberline students.
Come shop for unique, beautiful and meaningful gifts while supporting fair trade practices in the developing world.
