I realized that one of the most powerful ways that we, as individuals, can address the social and economic disparities is by purchasing goods that are traded in a system that is fair and just for all - from the producers, to the artisans, to the consumers, and for the environment.
So, in addition to attending events and learning more about fair trade, next month I will host a home party featuring products from the AWAZ collection. My friends will get a closer look at this beautiful collection which includes a wide variety of handmade eco-friendly products and have an opportunity to hear an in depth talk about the artisan groups who make the products and how they benefit from the fair trade.
Because we can't always enjoy a personal conversation directly with the artisans or producers of the products we buy, we don't know the conditions in which they were made and aren't able to make a personal connection.
But by hosting an AWAZ home party, you can listen to first-hand stories, told by Sarah, learn about the long term relationships AWAZ is building with the artisans and producers, and hear about how your purchases are empowering groups in India.
When you host an AWAZ home party, you can earn a hostess credit (15-20% depending on sales), spend it on discounted products, and receive a free gift or donate the hostess portion of the sales proceeds to your favorite charities or one of the AWAZ partner projects in India.
Will you join me in this movement for fair and just trade?
If you are interested and want to host a party yourself, check out the information on the website here: Fair Trade Home Parties.
