Why Grace was so excited?

The Fair Trade Mystery




The reason why Grace was excited is because she gets to go to school. In Ghana, one out of four boys and one out of 3 girls can't go to school as parents can't afford them money to go to school. Since her father joined a company called Kuapa Kokoo in 2002 and he earned 14 pounds per sack of cocoa that is sold. Before joining Kuapa Kokoo, her parents were only receiving 50p per day.

3. Retail sales of diamonds cost about 33 billion pounds. That's a lot!

Blood Diamonds - Reflection

A supermodel backed out of a job promoting London's latest diamond outlet. The reason that she left because the brand De Beers got the diamond from war zones. This called blood diamond. The land that De Beers wanted to asked all the Bushmen there to move out. This supermodel heard about it and stopped modelling for them. This land is in Botswana.  

I think that this supermodel is right to stop modelling for De Beers. This is because the Bushmen are indigenous people in that land and if they have to move, they will be struggling because they don't have enough money.


I think that this issue might affect this young bushmen his future because he needs to learn some skills, like hunting. When the bushmen moved to the reserve, they are quite banned a lot and they've been treated badly. More than 50 people arrested for hunting. They went hunting JUST FOR THE FAMILY. They need food. Food is one of the need of a standard living.
