Fair@square festival

I am writing this post the fairtrade event and feel a little disheartened by the lack of support out there for small businesses.
It is true that most businesses simply take time. But if would be nice to see some more collaboration, or even sponsorship from bigger partners for an event such as the fair@square festival that advocates fair-trade and sustainability. All good things at the core.

For now we will just keep on trying! And remember that really it is a global issue that I cannot take personally.

Nepal


Here- we have the Tharu culture in Nepal. A beautiful bunch of people who have been hardly done by, particularly in regards to slavery incidents. This doesn't tamper their strong understanding of other people, or the amount of love they're able to give. 

Slavery is being abolished and there is a drastic need for job and independence as these girls move out of the education system. For Freida Mountain, the energy, colour, love and skills were the beginning of what will be a dedication to these people. We now have the opportunity to work in trading to Australia from Nepal. A lot of fair trade research, justification and funding needs to occur, but I look forward to more and more involvement!
This environment acts as a stigma for my next range...
