1. Week Beginning Monday 19th February 2018
Fairtrade Fortnight aims to put a spotlight on trade. When trade is fair it has the potential to improve the lives of the farmers and workers who grow our food. When trade is fair, it can make the world a better place. Together we have that power, so get involved and be part of the difference.
It's a shocking fact that millions of poor farmers who produce the food we love still don’t earn enough to feed their own families. It’s time for this injustice to end. 
Through Fairtrade, millions of poor farmers and workers are already coming together to demand a change. They are working hard to close the door on exploitation and transform their communities, supported by Fairtrade.

2. Something to think about
Reflection
Watch Samuel’s Fairtrade Story’ by clicking the link below. It is a short film about the life of Samuel Maina, a Fairtrade coffee farmer in the Kangema district of Kenya.
Something to think about
Think about the relationship between a farmer and his coffee trees.
Now think about the relationship between you and the farmer

3. Let us pray…
Lord God,
In the fields of the poor Even when abundant fruits ripen, Injustice sweeps them away, And families hunger.
Help us to share The fruits of Your bounty So that all Your family may benefit From Your gracious gifts.
Amen
