Are sick of hearing complaints about the direction our world is headed? Do you feel burdened by the poverty and destitution in the world, but feel that nobody is offering any real solutions? Well, there are solutions that all of us can participate in! Just come to Los Angeles’ first annual Fair Trade Festival and Offering of Letters!
It will be held at the St. Francis of Assisi Parish Hall at St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Silver Lake, 1523 Golden Gate Ave. (map here) from 9 am – 2 pm on Sunday, August 13, 2006.
There will be lots of fair trade products being sold, including clothing from NoSweat, as well as information about global and local hunger and poverty, a place to write and offer up letters to representatives. Groups that will be participating are:
St. Francis Peace and Justice, Fair Trade LA/ Oxfam, Bread for the World/ One Campaign, CRS/ Work of Human Hands, Ten Thousand Villages, Equal Exchange Coffee and Chocolate, and Hunger Action LA.
Come ready to buy fair trade products, eat good food, and write letters to representatives about issues concerning the world’s impoverished. You will see how fun and easy it is to lift the burden of poverty from the shoulders of the world’s most needy children.
