Visit to the Home Grown Children's Eco Nursery Dubai, November 2015 by Sabeena Ahmed and The Little Fair Trade Shop

I would like to thank Lucy Bruce, her staff and all the Mums who took time out of their busy days to learn about the fairtrade movement in the United Arab Emirates.

I hope Lucy and her team will contemplate obtaining fairtrade status to become the first fairtrade nursery in the United Arab Emirates.

If you would like more information about supporting fairtrade at your nursery, school, college or university please do not hesitate to contact me for a chat and fairtrade coffee.

Warmest regards

Sabeena
