Help Wanted

 “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”   

So said Margaret Mead, celebrated American anthropologist.
 
Well, MAFTTI needs some thoughtful, active people now to help it foster and sustain the vision of Mankato and North Mankato as Fair Trade Towns.
 
Can you help? Here are some ideas. We’re serious. We’d like you to get involved. Take your pick from 
  • Helping to develop and maintain this website.
  • Helping to maintain MAFTTI's records.
  • Bringing graphics skills to add spice to advertising Fair Trade.
  • Working with shop owners to secure their support for MAFTTI and the stocking of Fair Trade goods.
  • Arranging the availability of Fair Trade Certified coffee, tea, and cocoa at your workplace.
  • Buying Fair Trade Certified and "fairly traded" products as gifts.
  • Working with business leaders on an agenda embracing Fair Trade and Social Responsibility.
  • Working with community organizations to ensure that "Fair Trade" is heard widely in the area.
  • Working with colleges and universities on Fair Trade and Sustainability.
  • Furthering opportunities to promote Fair Trade in the Mankato area schools.
  • Looking at fundraising opportunities in Mankato and North Mankato.
  • Hosting a Fair Trade house party at which someone from MAFTTI can speak.
  • Holding a Fair Trade product tasting party or potluck.
  • Working with print and broadcast media to secure their backing of the Fair Trade Town vision.
  • And then there is, of course, the opportunity of making a donation.
