Dear Friends,
I have been informed that Abantu, a development education centre similar to
Norfolk Education and Action for Development (Just Business is a poject of
NEAD), have coffee farmers from Kenya coming to UK from 1-12 November and
are looking for anyone who can help arrange meetings across UK.

Could be a great opportunity for those teaching about coffee as a topic
this year - maybe schools could organise cluster groups (joining up with
other local schools). You may want to look at our special coffee resource
section at http://www.jusbiz.org/coffee.shtml
Also thought you might be interested in Oxfam's new website

To find out more about the impact of EU subsidies (and dumping) have a look
at:

Page includes links to case studies:
*Milking it - European milk dumps put Jamaican dairy farmers out of business
* Sweet nothing - EU sugar dumping spells disaster in Mozambique
*Subsidies - How rich countries are dumping on poor farmers
* Eat this - Haitian farmers under threat from US rice imports
