Connecting Kids to JusticeDay 3

How many of you love to eat chocolate or drink hot cocoa?

Do you have family members who love to drink coffee?

All of these foods are grown by farmers who use land, water & resources.

Catholic Social Teaching

Our world, the planet Earth, is God’s creation, and we have a

duty to care for it.

.

When we buy food with the Fair Trade label, we are buying food that was grown and harvested in a way that cares for Earth.

Remember this label?

Farmers of Las Colinas The farmers of Las Colinas

in El Salvador, Central America work with CRS Fair to create cleaner and more efficient coffee processing systems. The new systems also protect the drinking water and allow the farmers to better care for God’s creation.
