Re: Eco vs Fairtrade
I prefer to out my money into something where i know where its going, I sponsor a cambodian orphan, and for quite a small monthly amount, I can ensure she goes to school, has adequate food and has a roof over her head and clothes to wear. Hopefully it will also mean she manages to avoid the appauling sex trade that is rife over there.
She is able to write to me and send photos, and i can send additional things over to her (toiletries, clothes toys etc) and she is also monitored by French Charity workers to make sure she is ok.
Yes, it in only one person I am helping, but I have the security of knowing that my money is not being used in the wrong manner
