I heard today that it was Fair Trade Day by some people that attended a Fair Trade event in Salt Lake. I thought that WFTD was the second Saturday in May, so I looked that up and discovered that World Fair Trade Day is actually May 13, so I didn’t miss it!

Transfair USA
Lutheran World Relief
International Fair Trade Organization
