Notwithstanding I feel well apart from the usual aches and pains
I am firm supporter of Fairtrade and as a family we try to celebrate Easter delicious Fairtrade Certified chocolate eggs and bunnies. There is something for everyone (if they enjoy chocolate). I was sent a few samples of Fairtrade ...who would refuse an offer of free chocolate ?
Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand CEO Molly Harriss Olson said “By buying Fairtrade certified chocolates, you can make a difference to the working and living standards for cocoa farmers, their families and communities.

| I love a good cup of Fairtrade tea too. |

I need a lot more tea than I could possibly drink ...
What is Fairtrade
...is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, by requiring companies to pay sustainable prices ,which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives and their community through better schooling and improved health services.
Some of the things that I was “meant” to get done, haven’t got done and I'm letting go of it this next week. Although sharing this Fairtrade message was a little late - there is still time to go shopping today.
I'm curious - what is your favourite chocolate or means to keep calm ?
PS- I was only sent a small sample of the above.You should be able to find the eggs in Woolworths, Coles, IGA and 7Eleven.
