Two chances to see some fair trade coffee – and peace! – in action. Fair Trade LA hosted an event with coffee farmers from the Mirembe Kawomera cooperative in March 2006. Two years later, they’re back in town and are not to be missed. Here’s the info:
Thanksgiving Coffee is bringing four Ugandan farmers (a Jew, a Muslim, a Catholic and an Anglican) to the Los Angeles area to make presentations on the Mirembe Kawomera (Delicious Peace) interfaith coffee cooperative and Fair Trade. The farmers will have just received a prestigious award for global justice from Tufts University.
