NEWS RELEASE
SAULT COLLEGE
**************************
This season get your Holiday shopping done early by giving a gift that give twice.
On November 7 and 8 the 3rd annual Ten Thousand Villages fair trade sale is coming to Sault College in support of the college’s student refugee program.
Ten Thousand Villages is the oldest and largest Fair Trade organization in North America, selling artisan-crafted personal accessories, home decor and gift items from around the globe.
Ten Thousand Villages creates opportunities for artisans in developing countries to earn income by bringing their products and stories to markets through long-term, fair trading relationships.
This November, Ten percent of sales will go towards Sault Colleges Student Refugee program (WUSC), raising funds in preparation for our third sponsored student coming from Thailand in January, 2015.
Our student refugee program helps students around the world living in refugee camps, where there are few resources for young people to further their schooling.
Without access to education there are limited options available to youth for a meaningful life.
This will be Sault Colleges 3rd year helping young refugees achieve their dreams, providing hope, resources and access to post-secondary education at Canadian universities and Colleges.
Join us on November 7 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and November 8 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. of a cultural shopping experience in Sault College Essar Hall.
Find quality hand made products that support communities and people around the globe.
