Hello Everyone,

I am Samuel a teacher by profession from New Koforidua, a cocoa farming community that is linked with Garstang the World's first Fairtrade town. Since l arrived in the UK on Tuesday 4th November l have visited the very historic Fairtrade city of Chester, the Fairtrade city of Greater London, the Fairtrade village of Haworth, the Fairtrade Foundation, Edge Hill University and the historic Fairtrade city of Coventry for a conference on North-South links organised by UKOWLA. Everywhere l have gone from shop to shop asking them to stock Fairtrade items.

The Fairtrade items sold here are helping someone to have a happy life like they deserve. Let me pause and ask if you are buying the Fairtrade goods. Please for a moment reflect on how best you can help one who is hungry in the South. Save lives for GOD'S blessing. I would like to thank the co-op shop in Garstang, Rita in Haworth and other shops in the UK selling Fairtrade goods.
l would love to see you tomorrow drinking Fairtrade coffee, tea, chocolate, and the like.
