Love Zimbabwe in Hereford
I was in Hereford over the weekend, where I bumped into someone I knew at All Saints Church. Martha of Love Zimbabwe was there, with her Fairtrade goods, enjoying the busy atmosphere of the town centre. She said she's already booked to be back in Hay for the Christmas Fair!

Fair Trade Celebration Weekend in Brecon
Love Zimbabwe has been one of the stalls at the Hay Christmas Fairtrade Fairs - and some of the others the group has held throughout the years.
On Friday, Martha Musonza of Love Zimbabwe will be heard on Radio 2, talking to Jeremy Vine. Martha and her husband David have also been talking to Roy Noble for his Sunday breakfast show on BBC Radio Wales. This is all in the run up to the Wales Fair Trade Fair weekend which they are organising in Brecon on Saturday 4th October. It's the seventh event they've organised together - and that's only a small part of what they do to promote Fairtrade and to help the people of Zimbabwe. They've been to Seattle to give talks, and had a stall at Glastonbury, and will even be talking to members of the House of Lords in November, before they go back to Zimbabwe with solar panels and irrigation equipment for a community centre funded by the Welsh Assembly!
In Brecon, Martha is promising African dancing, live music and drumming, sheep racing and a children's African village, as well as around 30 stalls selling Fairtrade goods.
Meanwhile in Hay, the Fairtrade Group are starting to think about the Christmas Fair in the Buttermarket, and possibly a talk about Shared Interest. There is a lady in Brecon who is on the Shared Interest Council, and as the group invests money from events that it puts on in Shared Interest, it might be a good idea to publicise how that works and how the money is spent.

Love Zimbabwe in Hereford
Love Zimbabwe have been coming to the Fairtrade Hay Fairs since the very beginning, and now they've got a spot at All Saints in Hereford. There's a very good post on Vanadian Avenue describing them and their work. The link is:

Love Zimbabwe Sponsored Walk
Congratulations to Martha from Love Zimbabwe for a valiant effort!
She didn't make it the full distance of 22 miles, either barefoot or in walking boots, but she got a lot further than anyone I know would have!
The full story is in the Brecon and Radnor Express this week.
