realistic hope of pulling billions of people
in developing countries out of abject
poverty, while sustaining prosperity in the

Festival
Fairtrade photo exhibition finished
For Eastbourne
Festival 2012 Fairtrade Eastbourne are
presented a photography exhibition in Urban
Ground café on Bolton Road for the
full 3 weeks.
We've taken over the big wall in this new and
popular café to show a selection of prints
from Simon Rawles, a photo-journalist who has
travelled to meet a wide range of Fairtrade
producers, such as tea and vanilla farmers in
India, cotton pickers in Mali, coffee workers in
Uganda and olive growers in Palestine.
Simon's work has appeared in the Observer
Magazine, the Guardian, the Times and the Daily
Mirror. His film documentaries have appeared on
the BBC and Channel 4 and some can be viewed here
on the Guardian
website.
His
website contains a huge collection of
beautiful and remarkable photos from which we
chose those in the exhibition.
These stunning pictures show those that directly
benefit when you chose Fairtrade. We would love to
hear your thoughts on the exhibition, either by
replying to this email on our Facebook
page.
