In recent weeks, CRS Fair Trade partners have received a lot of attention. Katy told you about our coffee partner, Pura Vida, being featured on the PBS News Hour. The next weekend at the Fair Trade Federation conference, our craft and chocolate partner, SERRV, received the “Outstanding Service to the Fair Trade Community” award. Equal Exchange’s Interfaith program, our coffee and chocolate partner, was named “Best Public Education Program.” This was the latest in a string of well-deserved awards for Equal.

While CRS Fair Traders are mostly a modest group, it is nice to see our partners getting some recognition! We know of their commitment to producers and their efforts to make trade fairer and more sustainable. We are glad the wider world is noticing too!
