Fair Trade Fortnight

May 2 - 17 was Fair Trade Fortnight in Australia and New Zealand and the local [New Plymouth - New Zealand] Trade Aid shop celebrated it with free Fair Trade coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other goodies. More about it at http://www.fta.org.nz/

May 9 was also Fair Trade Day around the world - it was also BIG BANG Day - a global day of drumming events from sun up in New Zealand, to sun down in London, through Japan, Taiwan, the U.S ... a day to BEAT Poverty - BEAT Climate Change - BEAT the Financial Crisis ...with fair trade.

The team from Rhythmik Journey and friends did their bit locally.

There's nothing like drumming for a couple of hours to get the mind and body moving!!
