Dear Editor:
We are writing to you as a six grade students at Madison Middle School to tell your readers about Fair Trade. Fair trade is a non profit organization that gives farmers a fair price. Fair trade guarantees their farmers a certain amount of money.

There are two hundred million children that are forced to work and not get an education. With Fair Trade, they get social premiums which help farmers build schools and have access to clean water.

“If the demand of fair trade increases then more fair trade farmers and workers will be needed in the world and I know that the life of a fair trade worker is better then the life of a non-fair trade worker”, said Timothy Owens a teacher at Madison Middle School.

A non-fair trade farmer is paid less then a dollar a day, as a fair trade farmer is paid between five and ten dollars a day.
That is why I want you to buy fair trade chocolate and other fair trade products.They are sold at stores in Seattle such as PCC and Costco. Thank you for reading our letter.

Sincerely,
Emenetu A. Haileselassie
