Inspired by travels and life experience we started Small Planet Trading in 2005. SPTs a fair trade shop located in Hood River, Oregon. Running a green business, being a part of the fair trade movement, working with local artists, and sourcing eco-living goods keeps us very busy. But because we always have more to say and more stories to tell we're creating this blog to keep the conversations going. Thanks for stopping by!
Common Good Thursday is back on May 20th to raise money for Haiti Foundation of Hope, a non profit that has been at work in Haiti building schools and clinics for the past 20 years. The organization has it's U.S. base in Vancouver, Washington and maintains a low overhead ensuring effective use of donations on the ground in Haiti. Other programs Foundations of Hope is involved in include micro-loan, community health, clean water and a woman's trade school.
Next Thursday Small Planet Trading will share Haiti Foundation of Hope information and donate 25% of the day's sales to their work. Come support Fair Trade, kids, and community development in Haiti!
