Fair Trade Development in Sierra Leone
October / November 2007
Waldorf School, linking with the Goderich Waldorf School, Freetown
A positive outcome from the UKOWLA conference, hosted by Hull City Council in October 2007,
is a link between the Waldorf School in Ringwood, Hampshire, UK,
and the Goderich Waldorf School.
The objective is to create a cloth printing and tailoring unit in the school
and to create a market for the products in the UK.
Elaine Holt, class 2 teacher in Ringwood, has travelled to Sierra Leone
and brought back a large number of samples of cloth.
We have 26 samples in Hull for evaluation and to form the basis of our planning and development.

- Creating the trading link
Anyone wishing to donate to the above may do so in person in the shop,
or by cheque payable to "WEFT" (Registered Charity 1061955) at the
registered office.
