Hey!!
This year I am going to hand out flyers. I will bring them to church and anywhere I go. I want to tell as many people about Modern-Day slavery as I can. I am going to put the Global Exchange Store website on the flyer so that people can find Fair Trade Chocolate. I hope to raise alot of awareness!
If I won the Action Kit it would help me spread the word.
Thanks,
Hannah
I am going to hand out some choc. to adults! well to a few because I don't have a lot of money, I think I should print up some leaflets too and have my daughter give them in exchange for her goody. that way both get a "treat"

I'll be handing out chocolates to trick or treaters in my neighborhood. Right after I saw "boo" to them from behind a bush!
I'm just planning to talk about it more than usual. "Did you know it's Fair Trade month?" provides a lead in to some interesting conversations.
I'll be handing out candy (probably chocolate) to trick or treaters. A Halloween kit would really help, though! Thanks.
I will be giving out cups of hot tea to the parents of trick or treaters for my part of Fair Trade!
I will be handing out candy to kids.

Definitely a good time to hand out fair trade candy and drum up some awareness. I think I'll borrow the hot tea idea too, thanks!
Many thanks for the chance
