Welcome to the Thanet Fairtrade Island Guide 2011!It’s been another extremely successful year for us at Thanet Fairtrade Initiative.

One of my highlights of last year was World Food Day, which included, for the very first time, an international climate change conference. How wonderful it was for Thanet to stage this important event and to welcome visitors from all over the world.

This year, we look forward to another busy year and to doing everything we can to spread the Fairtrade message far and wide. We’ve already reached the Far East and we’re delighted to be playing a key role in the Japan in Fairtrade Towns project.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the support of our volunteers and all the local businesses and organisations which have embraced Fairtrade. From the bottom of my heart, a massive thank you to you all.

Best wishes,

What is Fairtrade?and why is it so important?

Put simply, Fairtrade guarantees better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers in the developing world.

Fairtrade requires buyers to pay producers a minimum price for their products. This price is set during a consultative

process between producers and traders. Where the market price is higher than the Fairtrade minimum price, the market price is payable.

Any money paid on top of the minimum price is known as the Fairtrade premium. This is invested in life-changing social, environmental

and economic projects, decided upon by producers themselves.

The FAIRTRADE Mark appears on hundreds of products – from bananas and pineapples to T-shirts and flowers – and guarantees that they have been certified against internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.

FAIRTRADESTRIKESGOLD

Here’s something that gets every Fairtrade campaigner’s seal of approval - the launch of Fairtrade gold!

Launched in 2011 by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO) and the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), Fairtrade gold offers a better deal for millions of small-scale miners and their families, many of whom have previously been exploited and marginalised.

Ignored by most mining laws, they have been vulnerable and pushed into

informal and illegal operations, where conditions are terrible and pollution caused by toxic chemicals is rife. In short, they have faced a struggle to survive.

But not any more. The Fairtrade and Fairmined standards ensure that miners get a better price for their gold, thanks to a guaranteed minimum price. Mining communities will also benefit from a Fairtrade premium, which is reinvested in community projects.

This new way of working has already thrown a lifeline to

groups like SOTRAMI in Peru, Oro Verde in Colombia and Cotapata in Bolivia, where working conditions and women’s rights have improved, better health and safety rules are in place and more environmentally-friendly technologies are used.

It is hoped that Fairtrade wedding rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets will soon be readily available to consumers in the UK. Indeed, Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly considering using

FAIRTRADESTRIKESGOLD

Fairtrade gold for their wedding rings.

Harriet Lamb, executive director of the Fairtrade Foundation, said: “Companies and consumers will embrace this golden opportunity to make a real difference to miners’ lives. The launch of Fairtrade and Fairmined standards for gold provides a lifeline for communities who find themselves at the mercy of unbalanced markets.

“Many face exploitation from middle men who pay below market prices and cheat them on

weight and purity of the gold content.

“Mining community members lack basic sanitation and clean, safe drinking water. They live in poor housing, with little or no access to education and healthcare.”

She added: “Our research shows that customers believe buying jewellery for a special occasion holds greater value and significance if it carried the Fairtrade and Fairmined hallmark. The label reassures both the giver and receiver that the miners are getting a better deal.”

Cristina Echavarria, executive director of ARM, added: “Through these new standards, artisanal and small-scale miners all over the world will finally get recognition for their contribution to the livelihoods of millions, and access the hearts and minds of consumers who want to ensure that through their jewellery purchase, they can improve the lives and the environment of mining communities.”

FAIRTRADE IS..

From socks and scarves to T-shirts and underwear, Fairtrade fashion

is now everywhere – and it’s changing lives right across the world, every single day.

Online retailers like Gossypium and People Tree – which is backed by Harry Potter actress Emma Watson (pictured) and works with 50 Fair Trade groups in around 15 countries – have led the way but you’ll now find Fairtrade clothing in many High Street stores too. Marks & Spencer, Debenhams and Monsoon are on board, as are Topshop, Warehouse and Laura Ashley. Even big supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsbury’s stock Fairtrade garments.

Meanwhile, Fairtrade Collective is an exciting range of scarves available at ASOS, which sells dozens of Fairtrade products including its ‘Life’s Not Fair But ... My Knickers Are!’ and ‘Pants To Poverty’ ranges, as well as a stunning collection of jewellery.

Fairtrade cotton provides a lifeline for small farmers in West Africa and India, many of whom live in extreme poverty, earning less than $2 a day. Fairtrade guarantees a minimum price for their goods, while the additional Fairtrade premium is invested in community projects such as schools, health centres and wells.

We’ve picked out some of our favourite Fairtrade fashions on page 10. They’ll make you look – and feel – great!

Around

100 million

households – two-thirds

of whom live in the developing

world – depend on cotton production.

Many cotton farmers live in extreme

poverty, surviving on just $2 a day. Highly

subsidised cotton production in the United

States, the EU and China has driven down

prices yet further, meaning small scale cotton

farmers cannot compete. Fairtrade ensures

farmers are paid a minimum price for their

crop. They also receive additional money,

known as the Fairtrade premium, to invest

in community projects. There are more

than 30 Fairtrade cotton producer

groups across the world,

including in places like

Africa and India.

WORLD FOOD DAY 2010On Saturday, October 16, Thanet Fairtrade Initiative held its annual World Food Day celebrations at Margate Winter Gardens. The event, which is observed throughout the world, aims to raise awareness of the food challenges faced by millions of people. Last year’s event centred around the theme “United Against Hunger” and had a special focus on Fairtrade products, local produce and healthy eating. Attractions included cookery demonstrations, food tasting, craft stalls and much more.

The little girl pictured on our front cover is Nina, from Guatemala. She lives in Comunidad Santa Anita la Unión – a community of 38 families who collectively own an organic coffee plantation.

“Fairtrade is a great example of the power of ordinary people to be ‘good news’ to the poor.”

The Most Revd and Rt Hon Dr John Sentamu (pictured), Archbishop of York

Thanet Fairtrade Initiative enjoys fantastic support from churches in the local area. But if your church or faith group isn’t already taking part, there are so many ways to get involved. Why not commit to new Fairtrade products such as cotton clergy shirts, communion wine or flowers? You could hold a special Fairtrade tea and coffee morning. Or why not give a Fairtrade prayer or reading at one of your services?

In addition, more than 7,000 churches are now Fairtrade Churches – an accolade awarded to congregations who use Fairtrade tea and coffee after services and at meetings; make a commitment to use other Fairtrade products such as sugar, biscuits and fruit; and promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and during the year through events and worship.

For more information, including details on how to become a Fairtrade Church, go to www.fairtrade.org.uk and search for “church guide”.

Always stocking Fairtrade products andproud to support Thanet Fairtrade Initiative’s campaign to keep Thanet a Fairtrade Island

Thanet Fairtrade Initiative has always enjoyed fantastic support from local businesses, including J. Prentis, the local greengrocers. When the proprietor, John Prentis, first asked about selling Fairtrade fruit and vegetables several years ago, he had no idea whether they would be popular with customers at his shops in Broadstairs and Westgate-on-Sea. In fact, sales have been so successful that the shops now stock more than 30 different Fairtrade lines! Thanks to local companies such as J. Prentis, Thanet Fairtrade Initiative is reaching more people in Thanet than ever before. If your business would like to support our campaign, email info@thanetfairtradeinitiative.org.uk or call Tammy Stewart-Jones on 07891 038733.

Classrooms in Thanet have embraced

Fairtrade wholeheartedly and more contact Thanet Fairtrade Initiative every year with exciting ideas for

assemblies, activities and fundraising activities.

Many schools simply back the Fairtrade Foundation’s push for a fair price for the crops grown by millions of farmers in developing countries, by teaching children about the importance of Fairtrade and giving them an insight into how it has helped change lives across the world.

But other schools have taken their Fairtrade commitment a step further. By registering at the Fairtrade Foundation, they are now working towards becoming Fairtrade Schools in their own right, allowing youngsters to develop new skills and enjoy being part of a global campaign. To become a Fairtrade School, schools must meet five criteria, including using and selling as many Fairtrade products as possible; learning about Fairtrade in at least three subjects in two year groups; and taking action for Fairtrade both in the classroom and in the community on a regular basis.

Meanwhile, Thanet Fairtrade Initiative now has a schools liaison officer. Clare Pollard (pictured), a teacher at St Laurence-in-Thanet Junior School, Ramsgate, is a dedicated point of contact for teachers interested in introducing Fairtrade to their pupils. She can also provide lesson plans and other resources.

She said: “Young people are passionate about Fairtrade and about making a real difference to people’s lives. It’s important they understand how their actions can affect people thousands of miles away. Schools are already doing some great work to promote Fairtrade and we’re always looking for more schools to join in!”

For more information, email schools@thanetfairtradeinitiative.org.uk. You can also contact World Education Development Group (WEDG), which has provided workshops and activities. Email info@wedg.org.uk.

LydiaGOESNUTS!

In October 2010, Lydia Vadgama, the youngest

member of Thanet Fairtrade Initiative, spent a week

at the Fairtrade Foundation on work experience.

As well as administrative work, Lydia (pictured above, bottom right) was given the task of

dreaming up ideas to celebrate World Nut Day, using Harry’s Nuts – produced by Liberation,

the world’s only farmer-owned Fairtrade nut company – as props. Always willing to embark

on the craziest stunts for Fairtrade, Lydia and a group of campaigners went along to a local

branch of Waitrose dressed as Harry Hill, running around the store shouting: “Where’s my

nuts?! I’ve lost my nuts!”

Lydia was also able to visit the Fairtrade Wine Conference, where it was announced that sales

of Fairtrade wine had increased by more than 45 per cent in the last year despite the recession;

evaluate new materials for Fairtrade Fortnight; and talk to the Fairtrade certification team to

find out how they differ from the Fairtrade Labelling Organiztions.

Reflecting on her week, Lydia, who goes to Clarendon House Grammar School, Ramsgate,

said: “My experience at the Fairtrade Foundation was truly amazing. It was something I’ll

never forget and it was possibly better than what most of my friends did for theirs. I

was treated as a member of the team and I made friends very quickly.

It really was so much fun and I hope one day to go

back there and help again, perhaps as a

volunteer after university.”

Dr Mineo Kageya is no stranger to Thanet. He may live thousands of miles away in Japan but he studied in Thanet – at Churchill School of English, Ramsgate.

Now he has returned to his former home to find out what has made Thanet Fairtrade Initiative such a success, as he bids to bring Fairtrade to Japan. There are, at present, no Fairtrade Towns in Japan – but that is something Dr Kageya is keen to change.

The 49-year-old, who lives in Tokyo, said: “The concept of alternative trade has existed for many years now but it’s becoming increasingly popular, as more and more Japanese people travel to developing countries to experience the world.

“I hope Japan can celebrate the opening of its first Fairtrade Town in 2011. The government has to pass a resolution first but I’m confident that by working hard, we can make it happen.”

Since starting his campaign in 2010, Dr Kageya has

formed close links with the Fairtrade Foundation as well as the community of Garstang – the world’s first Fairtrade Town.

He has now teamed up with Thanet Fairtrade Initiative to launch an exciting cultural exchange programme.

More than a dozen Japanese students aged between 19 and 21 years old will visit Thanet during Fairtrade Fortnight, working with pupils at four local schools and introducing them to Japanese crafts, games and dress.

The children will learn calligraphy and origami and make their own version of karuta – a traditional Japanese card game dating back some 10,000 years.

Dr Kageya’s group, most of whom live in Tokyo and the surrounding area, will also demonstrate a Japanese tea ceremony at the Fairtrade tea party at Northdown House, Cliftonville, while one of his students will model a kimono – the traditional Japanese garment that can take up to an hour to put on – during the annual

Fairtrade supper at Quex Barn, near Birchington.

Dr Kageya said: “We won’t have much spare time in Fairtrade Fortnight, that’s for sure! But the students are so excited to come to Thanet. Some have studied English in the UK but for many of them this will be their first trip abroad.

“They are tremendously proud of their heritage and they want to use this opportunity to encourage people to appreciate Japanese culture.”

Tammy Stewart-Jones, chairman of Thanet Fairtrade Initiative, said: “What’s so wonderful is that Japan wants to introduce Fairtrade towns and we want our children to learn about the wider world.

“In that sense it’s a perfect exchange because it’s broadening people’s horizons and opening their minds to different cultures.”

For more information about the Japan in Fairtrade Towns initiative, visit www.japan21.org or send an email to mail@japan21.org.

From East Kent to the Far East, Thanet Fairtrade Initiative will be spreading the Fairtrade message far and wide in 2011...
