* For Immediate Release: NFTW Fair Trade Fair & Film Festival - May 19, 2007

- please forward -


In celebration of National Fair Trade Weeks 2007, ESPA presents the 4th
Annual Fair Trade Fair & Film Festival:

"Fair Trade Works! Ten years of Changing Lives"

Because Fair Trade does work and gives results - it is a practical tool for
decreasing poverty in developing countries. Fair Trade works for producers
and workers in the South, but it also works for the environment, for
communities and for the consumer. We will be providing information about
concrete examples of how Fair Trade is making a difference, both in the
South and the North. We will again be promoting the global "Make Poverty
History" campaign, established to put an end to poverty by focusing on four
key sectors: more and better aid, trade justice, canceling the debt and
ending child poverty in Canada. The campaign has mobilized more than 250,000
Canadians and 800 organizations in the past 2 years.

Time & Location: Saturday, May 19, 2007 from Noon - 6:00 pm
@ TransAlta Arts Barns (Fringe Theatre Adventures)
10330 84 Ave., Edmonton

FEATURING: An all-day Fair Trade & Info-Fair represented by dozens of
