Making a difference.

We have been finding out about life in Brazil.
We looked particularly at the cocoa farmers and learnt how chocolate is made.We drew our own flow charts to describe the process.

We discovered that some cocoa farmers work very long days in difficult conditions but do not  get paid enough for their children to go to school, have medical care, or even to have enough healthy food to eat. We think this is unfair!
We learnt that through choosing Fairtrade we can be sure that the farmers who grew the cocoa pods for our chocolate will have been paid a fair wage and that their families will enjoy their rights in the future.

             If you want to make a difference shout ''Fairtrade!''
