El Mecurio


El Mecurio, originally uploaded by jtobiason08.
This Saturday (May 8th) is World Fair Trade Day. Please check out this link to the Eco-Journey Blog by my friend Katie Holmes of the PC(USA) on the need for Fair Trade. This picture is of the women of El Mecurio, an artisan group based out of Huancavelica, Perú. You can read a little bit about their lives in the last edition of the Red Uniendo Manos´ Newsletter, La Retama (English, Español) or buy some of their stuffed animals at Partners for Just Trade. So this saturday, please take a second to sit down and think about whether your trade is fair and how to make it even mroe so.
