FAIRTRADE MEDIA PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR VISITS SATEMWA ESTATE

On Wenesday 27th January 2010, we received visitors from the Fairtrade Foundation who were on a fact finding mission with regards to the Fairtrade Media Project.

Annette Muller (Video and Digital Project Co-ordinator and team leader) was accompanied by Richard.

They met with Smallholder Tea growers and Joint Body members.

Among other issues, they advised us of the objective behind the project - To do stories and or capture clips that will give fairtrade consumers out there a true picture of the impact fairtrde is making towards changing people's lives.

Annette and Richard were stunned to note that Satemwa Joint Body is a step ahead in terms of communicating with the customers and other interested parties - by way of a blog onto which stories are posted.

They promised to link this blog with the Fairtrade facebook .
