Haiti needs help. Fair Trade Minneapolis brings metal wall art; bracelets, necklaces and earrings made with paper-rolled and ceramic beads; hanging birds, bees, and trees; Haiti Friends dolls, ceramic mugs, greeting cards, and head bands - made by parents getting paid fairly for their work at Papillon Marketplace in Haiti - to events in Minneapolis.
Fair Trade Minneapolis needs volunteers at Twin Cities Pride. We're often just my mother and me, so I'm reaching out to ask for your help.
More information: I've started Fair Trade Minneapolis, a 501c3 nonprofit. We encourage people to choose Fair Trade coffee, tea, chocolate, and gifts - to pay farmers & artisans fairly, protect our environment with the Fair Trade Standards for sustainable agriculture and ensure that cocoa for Fair Trade chocolate has been farmed by adults.
At events, we sell Fair Trade artisan products made in Haiti by parents at Papillon Marketplace https://papillonmarketplace.com. In Haiti, Papillon Marketplace hires parents and pays them fairly for their work - so they'll have money to buy food for themselves and their children.
We need volunteers who can help us greet event goers (and get them to take a 2nd look at our great Haitian art!) at Twin Cities Pride in Loring Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at our booth for Fair Trade Minneapolis - Saturday, June 28 from 9:45 am to 7 pm, and Sunday, June 29, from 9:45 am to 6 pm (with take down after that).
Thank you for helping us at Twin Cities Pride! We'll be at Booth #627, up the path behind the Stonewall stage, on the left.
We'll also bring dozens of kinds of Fair Trade tea, and some Fair Trade chocolate - and give away "your choices" for free when time permits. Be sure to get some yourself! This meets our mission: to encourage people to choose Fair Trade!
