Join La Mesa Fair Trade and Fair Trade San Diego to celebrate a first anniversary for
Fair Trade Decor in Del Mar!
Special guests include authors: Alepho Deng (They Poured
Fire on Us from the Sky) and Jeff Salz (The Way of Adventure, Transforming Your Life and Work with Spirit and
Vision), Sarah Emerson (Women Empowered Initiative, PCI), Sandra
Martinez (Foundation for Women) and local Fair Trade leaders.
Since opening the store last year, Fair Trade Décor has been
accepted to the Fair Trade Federation, www.fairtradefederation.org.
The family-run business has brought handmade furnishings and gifts from more
than 40 countries to Del Mar, while following globally accepted principles of
Fair Trade, including fair living wages, safe working conditions, environmental
sustainability and cultural respect.
Owner, Betsy Paganelli, noted, “As the first 100% Fair Trade
store in San Diego County, we have sought to give back to the community as a
site for cultural events, including a family friendly drum circle,
international dance lessons, live music and now storytelling and
booksigning.”
