3 October 13

October is Fair Trade Month, a time to celebrate the wonderful growth of "fair trade commerce" that aims to pay workers and producers around the world FAIRLY for their labor and resources. My tie was handmade by "Lily" in Guatemala, and purchased at the fair trade shop Peace Craft in Berea. My big button celebrates October as Disabilities Awareness Month and today as EKU's Disabilities Awareness Day, for which I am coordinating outdoor information-table displays by 16 organizations.
