Fair Trade For Wem Town


A couple of weeks ago I was asked to sit on the committee for "Fair Trade In Wem" and duly obliging I attended the inaugural meeting tonight .

I am now a fully converted fair trade man and part of the community team whose role it is to give Wem town a Fair Trade town status ..

For me it serves the dual purpose of helping the poor and underprivileged ( a command in Scripture) and secondly it builds community bridges , presenting opportunities for a gospel witness ... So I'm off out tomorrow to buy a jar of Fair trade coffee ...
