Fairtrade Fortnight 2011 e-campaign

For the past week, Llanelli Fairtrade Group has been involved with the Fairtrade e-campaign - we promised to retweet all the tweets marked #fairtradefortnight which we saw on Twitter and so far, haven't too bad a job at keeping that promise. Retweeting is a great way to promote Faitrade and the activities of various fairtrade groups all over the world; it is also a fantatsic way of raising our profile too! We've gone from just a handful of followers to more than 120, and from a few tweets to more than 800! We've made connections with Fairtrade groups and activists all over the UK, including some of the most well-known fairtrade companies! Hopefully we can nurture those connections and create an e-campaign around making Llanelli a Faitrade Town with some momentum! Fingers crossed!

Hope you are all enjoying Fairtrade Fortnight so far! Please let us know of any events you are hosting/ involved with, and send some piccies our way! We'll tweet about them/you and stick some up on the blog for posterity!

Best,
Natasha
