Dear colleages,

Recently the Dutch FTT-campain published its criteria for Fair Tarde
Schools and Fair Tarde Churches. The first FT-Church-title will soon
be awarded! We now also got a question from a Mosque in Dronten, about
the FT-criteria which count for Mosques, and we are now developping
them.
But, we would like tot give proper and reliable information to Mosques
about Fair Trade in their own Language. Since the majority of Islamic
people in the Netherlands is Turkisch or Maroccan, I'm looking for
internetarticles about Fair Tarde in Turkish and Arabic language. I
don't speak or read either of these two languages, so I'm interested
if there is anyone in our international Fair trade towns community,
who can help me to get some links tot good articles about Fair Trade
in Turkish an/or in Arabic, which we can mention in our criteria-
leaflet for Mosques.

Greetings, and looking forward to your reaction,

Tabe Jorritsma

Hi Tabe,
Can't help with this I'm afraid but just in case you are not aware in the UK we have prepared a Muslim Action Guide which can be downloaded at the following link:

Hi Bruce,

Thanks you for your reaction. I found that guide already and used it
for our concept-criteria for Mosques. I also found the article on
Islam and Fair Trade through your website, which is very informative
and usefull. We might translate it in Dutch.

Fair greetings,

Tabe
