Valentine's Day of Action 2008!

공정무역운동을 하는 글로벌 익스체인지(http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/cocoa/)는 매년 발렌타인데이에 '초콜렛 캠페인-액션'을 진행하고 있습니다. 글로벌 익스체인지의 초콜렛 캠페인은 전세계 초콜렛 원료 시장의 절반을 차지하고 있는 네슬레, 카킬, ADM 등 3대 초콜렛 기업의 불공적 무역으로 인한 낮은 코코아 가격 때문에 코코아 주요생산국(아이보리, 코스트, 가나, 나이지리아, 카메룬)에서 발생하는 가난, 아동노동, 아동노예제, 환경파괴 등을 해결하기 위해 가난한 생산자들에게 그들이 생산한 물건에 대해 적당한 가격을 주고 거래하자는 운동입니다. 특히 공정무역운동을 통해 코코아 농장에서 노예처럼 일하던 아이들도 배움의 기회를 얻을 수 있다고 합니다.(아래 참조)

코코아농장에서 일하는 아이들은 한주에 80~100시간 노동을 강요받는다.


요즘 건강하고 착한 소비생활을 실천하려 노력하고 있어, 관련 자료들과 이미지들을 엮어 보시 쉽게 영상으로 만들어 보았습니다. 보시고 공감하시면 많이 퍼날라 주시길...^-^::

덧. 이번 발렌타인데이에는 지구와 사람을 살리는 초콜렛을 선물해보셨으면 합니다!
꼭 초콜렛이 아니어도 좋습니다. 우리쌀로 만든 떡도 좋고 우리밀로 만든 과자도 좋습니다.

[영상]달콤한 초콜렛은 아이들의 눈물이다!이른 새벽,
나를 깨우는 엄마의 손은 울고 있었다.
너는 아홉 살, 더 이상 아이가 아니다.
자고 있는 동생들, 저 아이들은 먹을 것이 필요해.
가라, 아들아.

열두 살이 되었다.
여섯시에 시작되어 여섯시에 하루는 끝난다.
끝없이 코코아를 따도
엄마도 동생도 볼 수 없었다.

400개의 코코아가 200그램의 쵸콜렛을 만든다.

오늘도 400개가 넘는 코코아를 땄다.
작년의 오늘도 400개가 넘는 코코아를 땄다.
재작년의 오늘도 400개가 넘는 코코아를 땄다.

하지만 아직도 난 쵸콜렛을 먹어본 적이 없다.

Our goal is to educate at least 500 children about Fair Trade in a single day -- Valentine's Day, and help hundreds of thousands of kids in cocoa farming communities!

[영상]달콤한 초콜렛은 아이들의 눈물이다!What you can do:
Please take action by contacting at least five teachers today!!!
Now is the time to call and email! Teachers plan their schedule several weeks in advance!

(Feel free to contact both public and private schools and other classroom programs for elementary school kids, such as "Sunday school"-type programs.)
Call or email K-6 teachers at the schools in your local area and ask them to teach the curriculum.
Or you can download and print this letter to your child's teacher, for your child to bring to class. The letter informs the teacher about the National Valentine's Day of Action.

National Valentine's Day of Action: 500 for Fair Trade!!!

Join K-6 educators nationwide teaching Global Exchange's fun, interdisciplinary Fair Trade Cocoa curriculum on Valentine's Day!

Together, we can teach 500 children about Fair Trade on a single day!

Plus, one lucky participating teacher will win a Fair Trade gift worth $75!!!

Why participate???

1. Cover teaching standards using a subject kids love...chocolate! 2. Kids learn about how they can personally make a difference in the world, and can influence social justice issues affecting their peers overseas through the products they buy, often starting them on a lifetime of socially and environmentally conscious consumerism. 3. Teachers who teach the curriculum on the National Valentine's Day of Action will be entered into a prize drawing to win over $75 worth of Fair Trade chocolate and educational materials!

Download the curriculum at www.globalexchange.org/cocoa, and don't forget to include the email address of the person who referred you, so they might win, too!

You can also win by referring other teachers!!! Forward this email to other teachers. We will enter your name into a prize drawing for Fair Trade gifts worth over $40 for every teacher you refer who downloads the curriculum by February 14. When teachers download the curriculum, they will have the opportunity to provide the name and email of the person who referred them, which will enter you into the prize drawing.

To let us know you will be part of the 500 for Fair Trade National Valentine's Day of Action, send an email with "National Day of Action participant" in the subject line to fairtrade@globalexchange.org telling us that you have reviewed the curriculum and you plan to teach the curriculum on or around Valentine's Day 2008. When we receive your email, your name will be entered into the drawing. We will verify winning entries.

Include in the body of your email: · Your name · School name · Mailing address (please indicate whether it is your mailing address or the school's) · Phone · Number of children in your classroom · Grade level · Dates that you plan to teach the curriculum

Are you a teacher who teaches the curriculum or plans to teach the curriculum, but will not be teaching the curriculum this Valentine's Day? Please drop us a line to let us know at fairtrade@globalexchange.org. We are collecting the contact info of all the teachers who teach the curriculum, so that we can keep you updated on new materials, resources, and programs related to the curriculum and Fair Trade cocoa.
