An upcoming weekend Fair Trade Latin American sale offers unique, handcrafted items while promoting social justice and cultural preservation.

The Unitarian Universalist Church has partnered with a local Fair Trade Organization called Colores del Pueblo. The group works with Latin American artisans mostly in Guatemala to give the artists a fair living wage for their handiwork so the women can make a living, send their children to school and pass on a dying art form in terms of weaving.


The Fair Trade sale will include Latin American textiles, arts, coffee and chocolate. It will be at the Unitarian Universalist Church - 3301 Neely Avenue, corner of Midkiff and Neely - on Friday, April 29th and Saturday, April 30th from 10AM - 7PM.
