A week of sunshine and interesting happenings. London School of Economics visited People Tree with “Proteus,” an executive programme which aims to inspire business leaders through creative experiences – They came to learn about Fair Trade and what we do at People Tree.
People Tree celebrated in Japan with a huge event, thanks to extensive media coverage that brought over 850 people to seminars and workshops on Fair Trade. Presentations were made by two of People Trees key partners Joshi Kailash from Tara Projects and Mr Gomarthi from Reaching the Unreached. Both have had long careers in Fair Trade and are key activists in protecting children from exploitation.
Can you help us bring organic cotton to Bangladesh?
