The Fairtrade Cotton Ambassadors – 6

We have just had the pleasure of teaming up again with Robin Sharpe, one of our wonderful Fairtrade Cotton Ambassadors, during the “Go Global” Schools Conference at The Lakes School, Windermere, Cumbria.

Koolskools first visit to The Lakes School was during Fairtrade Fortnight 2016, when Pamela Intelligent, a seamstress at our Fairtrade-licensed factory, spoke to a school Assembly about her life in the clothing industry.

Robin has been the epitome of the word “Ambassador” for Fairtrade cotton and Fairtrade education since Andy at Koolskools first spoke to him on 16 October 2015 about the Koolskools project. Robin immediately appreciated what we were trying to achieve with our project. Robin not only grasped the Fairtrade business dimension of Koolskools but also the wider Fairtrade education benefits. As a result of Robin’s initial conversations within The Lakes School – a Fair Achiever award-winning school – an order for Fairtrade polos quickly materialised for Koolskools Fairtrade polos for a school trip to Germany for the summer of 2016.
