Tuesday 30th June: 6:30pm (stalls) 7:30pm (talk)
An event with guest speaker Fatima Ismael, a Nicaraguan agronomist engineer, fair trade expert and experienced social campaigner.
Stalls: Coffee imported by Twin Café from Miraflor, near Estelí, our twin town in Nicaragua, will be served and there will be stalls by Barra Organics (organic greengrocers), Good Taste (formerly Fair Grounds), Twin Cafe and Zaytoun (olive oil from Palestine).
Talk with Fatima Ismael. “We really need to promote, grow and multiply the number of Fairtrade consumers because our producers are once again in a deep crisis caused by the effects of climate change. Climatic changes have affected our co-operative’s growth. I wish to get across to all our supporters in the UK that we need them now more than ever before.”

6:30pm-7pm: Global Justice Sheffield AGM
7:15pm-9:15pm: public meeting Debt in Africa: the good, the bad, the ugly
Speaker: Jonathan Stevenson, Campaigns and Communications Officer for the Jubilee Debt Campaign
Why do countries across Africa keep on borrowing from foreign lenders? Why do lenders keep on lending? And is there a ‘good’ level of debt, or should debt be avoided altogether?
Since the financial crisis in 2008, loans to low-income countries have tripled, and now several African countries are heading for dangerous levels of debt once again.
Join us to find out how debt and the financial system are shaping the lives of people in Africa, and what they mean for essentials like food, water, schools and medicines – and discuss what campaigners can do to tackle one of the key root causes of global poverty.
Venue: Central United Reformed Church, 60 Norfolk Street, Sheffield S1 2JB. Refreshments provided. All welcome
