What would you swap - Africa and Asia Venture

Today is the first day of Fairtrade Fortnight (22 February - 7 March) and here in the UK office we have decided to swap our tea, coffee and bananas for the fair trade equivalent. We are also looking at offering Fairtrade hoodies for all of you AVs who are thinking of purchasing one - a great way to find other AV volunteers when you head off to Uni!

AV works very closely with rural communities in many Fairtrade producing countries....

• Sugar - Malawi
• Citrus fruits - South Africa
• Coffee - Tanzania, Uganda & Costa Rica
• Flowers - Kenya
• Grapes - South Africa
• Nuts - Malawi
• Rice - India & Thailand

Fairtrade is looking to achieve 1 million and 1 swaps so get shopping, start swapping and register your swap online - Fairtrade
