Jennie and David's trip to Nepal and Bangladesh in 2009

David and Jennie Rake, who run Set Fair 4 Trade, the Blandford Fair Trade Shop, are to visit Nepal and Bangladesh on January 16th for a two-week visit to fair trade producers. David and Jennie Rake, who have sold fair trade products for over twenty-five years, will be meeting the people who make products that are sold in Set Fair 4 Trade, the shop they opened in Salisbury Street in 2005, and see the difference that fair trade makes to the lives of the producers. In Nepal, the team will visit workshops and homes in rural and city locations to see items made of felt, leather, paper, beads and see next season’s products in their various stages of development. They will also be taking time to visit the foothills of the Himalayas. David and Jennie will be joined by eleven others from around the UK, all of whom are involved in selling and promoting Tearcraft’s fair trade products.

Jennie Rake said, “This will be my third fair trade study tour with Tearfund and a great opportunity to learn about the production of a different range of crafts. We sell quite a lot of crafts from the two Bangladeshi producer groups and I am particularly looking forward to seeing the leather and paper making process. We hope to avoid the more unwelcome aspects of travel in such areas and are going well provided with plenty of mosquito repellent!” On their return, Jennie and David will be available to give talks about their visit and may be contacted via Set Fair 4 Trade in Salisbury Street on 453555.
