Fairtrade schools conference, Glasgow

Thursday, 12 June 2008

Today we presented at the Fairtrade Schools conference in Glasgow. They were all excited to meet us and we were also happy to meet them. I did not feel nervous about presenting, as we have presented before at the Kids Camps in Ghana that were run by Comic Relief, Trading Visions, Divine Chocolate and Kuapa Kokoo. I remember one boy called Johnny Mulligan, when he saw my slide with a picture of my mother, told me: "your mother looks really nice!"

There was a song at the end by the Whitelees School of Rock, all about Fairtrade. Young children had written the song, the words were good, and a nice melody.
