You can buy Divine chocolate as a yummy way to support Fair Trade.  Educators can share principles of Catholic Social Teaching with students through educational modules.  Anybody can "Raise Money Right" by selling chocolate for special projects and support a special group of Fair Trade farmers.

CRS Fair Trade sells "Divine" chocolate. It is made with 100 percent Fair Trade cocoa beans grown by the farmers of the Kuapa Kokoo cooperative in Ghana.  Fair Trade means that the farmers are guaranteed a fair price for their crop, no exploitative child labor is allowed, and women’s rights are promoted. Plus the members of Kuapa Kokoo own a significant portion of the Divine Chocolate Company. Kuapa's farmers get a share of the profits from all the candy bars you buy, sell or give.
