Students Travel to Guatemala to Educate Others on Fair Trade
Documentary to be Shown On-Campus
In January, a group of students from the on-campus organization Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), traveled to Guatemala to learn about the Kuchubal Organization and their Free Trade coffee. While there, they learned about the organization from locals, traveled the country purchasing Free Trade products which they brought back to the United States and filmed a documentary with the intention of educating others on the subject.
This documentary, entitled Somos de Cafe, displays the situation of the rural coffee farmer in Guatemala, how they are working to achieve economic and environmental sustainability, and works to shed some light on the benefits of supporting the fair trade movement.
The documentary will be shown in the Pellegrene Auditorium at SJU on Wednesday, March 12 and Thursday, March 13 at 7:00 pm. It will be approximately 15-20 minutes in length and include time for discussion after the showing.
