On Sunday we had arranged to go and do a shoot of Jon Jon and Celine with their baby. Unfortunately Jon Jon injured himself whilst playing football so the shoot had to be cancelled. So we decided to take a chance and see if the Fair Trade Village was open yet. We had been noticing over the last while how an old derilect Station house was being slowly transformed into what looked to be a crafts centre. It turned out that what we were watching was the creation of the first Fair Trade Village in Africa. The day we went was the first day of trading for their Cafe. We were served with delicious hot chocolate and cafe late'.

The ethos behind the project is job creation through helping under privilaged people set up their own businesses in a green and sustainable way. If you would like to find out more about this please go to Irene Trading Post.
