Something Old, Something New, Something... Fair Trade Certified?
Leyda Talavera and Vinni Quast wouldn't say "I do" to one another without also saying "we do" to helping coffee farmers in crisis. Leyda and Vinni learned about Fair Trade coffee while attending a Coldplay concert in Connecticut, where volunteers handed out literature on Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign. Spurred into action, this dynamic duo used their nuptials as an opportunity to educate their family and friends about Fair Trade coffee. At the reception, guests were given literature on the global coffee crisis and what they could do to help. The DJ even played The Coffee Song by Frank Sinatra as Fair Trade coffee was being served!
Oxfam wishes Leyda and Vinni a long and happy life together, full of laughter, joy, and global social justice.
