The Leakeys discuss fair trade in Africa - March 10


Thanks to all who attended the Leakey event on the evening of March 10th!!! It was a wonderful group who came to hear Katy and Philip speak about fair trade in Africa and their own Leakey Collection which features products created by the Masaai tribe in Kenya. We learned that fair trade is an important step in leading to independence, not simply "money falling from the sky" but creating a beneficial collaboration between buyer and producer to help improve the lives of the Masaai.
