This month is the fair-trade challenge month all over Manitoba. The challenge is to only consume fair-trade teas, coffees and hot chocolate for the entire month. Amnesty International and the Rights and Democracy Delegation at U of M are happy to be hosting a fair-trade coffeehouse and concert this Thursday. You will have an opportunity to drink some great fair-trade coffee, while listening to great local artists like Jeremy Wells, Cruithne, and Jonny Moonbeam, followed by ’open mic’ music. 100% of the proceeds will going to construction of a primary school in Godah, Afghanistan for 1000 young girls and boys. The right to education and literacy skills are essential to children all over the world, so as you can see we are supporting two important causes: fair-trade and education rights. Come join us! There will also be great prizes being drawn.
