In January we are sponsoring a Delegation to Nicaragua. Participants will have the opportunity to experience Nicaragua, Fair Trade and the church's work there firsthand.
January 16-23, 2010
This delegation is perfect for anyone involved in a congregation, college or camp that uses Fair Trade or Sweat-Free Ts, has hosted a holiday bazaar using Fair Trade products, or simply wants to learn more. Delegates will:
-
Meet Fair Trade farmers and artisans
-
Pick coffee and say in homes of farming families
-
Meet the women who sew Sweat-Free Ts
-
Build community with fellow Presbyterians
-
Learn about Nicaragua, Fair Trade and more!
The trip is sponsored by PC(USA), Equal Exchange, and CEPAD (the council of Protestant churches in Nicaragua).
Applications are due Nov 20. For info and an application contact (774) 776-7366 or interfaith@equalexchange.coop. Some scholarship assistance is available.
Please consider joining us and pass the word to others who may be interested!
PS: The cost is $525, plus airfare. The $525 is all-inclusive of meals, lodging, translation, in-country transportation, etc. The only extra needed is a small amount of spending money for snacks or souvenirs.
