Kilbarchan Fairtrade Group
Kilbarchan enjoyed visits
from honey and coffee cooperative
chairman Ismael
Diaz Rivas who had been
flown over from Guatemala
for Fairtrade Fortnight. He
visited a Fairtrade stall in
Kilbarchan East Church,
where he met buyers and
spoke about the changes
brought about in his region
by being associated with
the Fairtrade organisation.

Reverend Stephen Smith
met Ismael and Helena, his
interpreter. Moira Stark of
the village committee and

Fairtrade Fortnight was rounded off with a crowded and successful Friday curry
