Emaus & Fair trade

First day:

 In the first day, we saw a presentation of the fair trade and Emaus. They explained us interesting things about the different aspects of this company.


They told us that Emaus was a NGO which works for people of underdeveloped countries.

Second day:

In this day, our teacher explained us how a NGO from India, called Tara, works. Also, Xabier told us differents characteristics of India with the help of a nice power point.
He has been three times in India, so he knows how the country works.


Third day:

Last friday, we spoke  with a woman from India. We asked her some questions and she spoke us about the NGO Tara.

Conclusion:

We think that this activity has been a good idea to understand better how the fair trade works and we have a good time.
