Emaús in Luberri

Last Tuesday some members of Emaús came to school and talked about fair trade and its benefits.

Emmaús is an international charitable movement founded in Paris in 1949 by the Catholic priest Abbé Pierre to combat poverty and homelessness. Since 1971 regional and national initiatives have been grouped under a parent organization, Emmaús International, now run by Jean Rousseau, representing 310 groups in 38 countries, offering a range of charitable services.

From our point of view, all that they told us was sensible and we understood everything at once. Now, we have a wider knowledge about fair trade and we are going to be more careful about it.
