During the 2017 Fairtrade Fortnight Wiltshire Producer tour, representatives of the Foundation, County campaigners and our visiting Producer supported St Johns Catholic Primary School Fairtrade assembly. The whole school assembly 315 pupils and staff heard directly from Tea Producer Patrick Kaberia what Fairtrade means to him and his community....this was followed by a smaller assembly, workshop and questions to Patrick.

During the visit Peter Barnett Chair of Wiltshire Fairtrade passed on his thanks to the whole school on its recent achievement in becoming the latest Fairtrade school in the County [see separate news note]. It is hoped to organise a celebration event before the end of the summer term.
