Each day leading up to Christmas day there will be a Fairtrade recommendation from someone at Bridge of Don Academy or Aberdeen for a Fairer World. They have been working together as part of a Fairtrade project funded by the Co-op Local Community Fund.
Day 1
Who are you?: Nicholas Care. I used to be the fairtrade officer for Aberdeen for a Fairer World MDEC and am now a trustee. I love fairtrade because it allows me to feel connected with the producers and farmers of the products I buy. Everytime I buy fairtrade, I am experiencing the passion and livelihood of farmers in other parts of the world and am paying the fair price for their passion, hardwork, and quality items.
What is your Fairtrade item?: Divine Dark Chocolate Advent Calendar.
Why?: Every year we buy an advent calendar, and we love buying Divine’s dark or milk chocolate advent calendars. Divine’s chocolate is always delicious, so it’s amazing to enjoy a daily piece of delicious chocolate every single day leading up to Christmas. Plus, we are directly supporting the farmers in Ghana who grow the cocoa used!
