Global Gifts Volunteer

This past semester I became a volunteer at the Global Gifts Fair Trade Store that is located on High Street. As a volunteer within the store I am responsible for the cash registers and for arranging displays when I am there. I chose Global Gifts because of their commitment to Fair Trade sales. As our world moves into a more and more interconnected community I think the fair wages of workers and environmental sustainability should become major focuses within the global communities’ shopping habits. Fair Trade encourages basic human rights to be upheld and progress in the environmental sustainability community, something that I am glad to volunteer my time to support.
