When Paris meets Toronto for a fair experience
- dsashin, CNN iReport producer
My name is Pascaline, passionate in travel, food and dance.
Three years ago I had my first fair trade experience in Paris, during a Fair Trade Brunch.
Today, I want to make Toronto an official Fair Trade Town.
It was easy to find fair trade chocolate thanks to the amazing connections I made the city. ChocoSol is “a small, ecological and inter-communities initiative between farmers in Chiapas, Mexico, sustainable technologists based out of Oaxaca City, Mexico and horizontal traders and chocolatiers in Toronto”.
The most difficult part was to connect the traditional French crepe recipe with my new Canadian way of life.
I am pleased to participate in the Freedom Project Challenge and for the opportunity it has given us to share and increase our awareness around real global issues specifically child labor.
I hope that everyone will be considered as a winner but mainly that one day child slavery won’t be part of this world : children are one third of our population but all of our future...
