The One You've All Been Waiting For

And if you haven't been waiting for it, I have. We've got audio of Jency's interview, which aired last week on Around and About. Jency talks about human trafficking, the experiences she and Nathan had as they traveled to India, and her dream to stop the exploitation of women and girls through an act as simple as selling bags.
Her radio interview is posted below.

Listen Up!

Listen for us in the coming week on 88.1 WUTC, Chattanooga's NPR affiliate. Jency met this week with Julie Burrage of Around and About to talk about fair trade and share stories from the trip she and Nathan took to India and Nepal.
Not sure yet when this will air, but we'll keep you updated!

This year's World Fair Trade Day = biggest ever

To all of you who came out and participated in this year's World Fair Trade Day back in May: thank you! The Fair Trade Resource Network is reporting that this year's World Fair Trade Day, held May 9, was the largest ever. While they are still counting, the FTRN says that nearly 65,000 people participated in the World's Largest Fair Trade Coffee Break.
In all, FTRN believes that more than 100 media articles were published about the event. Here at World Next Door, our owner, Will Honeycutt, was able to speak with local NPR affiliate WUTC about our store's mission and promote the event. As Nathan mentioned in an earlier post, we've continued to see lots of feedback from that interview and from other advertisements on the station. It is such an encouragement to know that people are listening and paying attention to our message.
Thanks for your help in making this year's World Fair Trade Day the biggest (and dare I say best) ever!
