The Fairtrade group in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames (a
London borough) would like to add our congratulations to Saarbrucken,
and to Germany Fairtrade movement.
We have a twin town in Germany: Oldenburg. In June two members of our
group will be visiting to talk about Fairtrade universities (we have
one) and Fairtrade Towns. Later in June two other members of our
group are holidaying in Germany and will be taking the opportunity to
talk to other Fairtrade supporters. It is a wonderful to have these
links and to be able to help other people.
Kingston has the largest Korean community in Europe and last year we
welcomed Korean students interested in Fairtrade, and keen to make
their own university in Korea a Fairtrade University. Later this year
another Korean student hopes to come.
In my lifetime Korea has been ravaged by war and extremely poor.
Since then South Korea has come a very long way but it is by no means
as rich as most Western countries. It is a fine thing that young
Koreans are already so keen to help people poorer than themselves, and
I don’t doubt that this applies in many other countries too.

Dear Tabe and Dutch FTT-steeringgroup,
dear Jeannette,
thank you very much for the nice congratulations! I will forward them
as well to the steeringcomittee in Saarbrücken!
Concerning the twinning of Kingston and Oldenburg: Oldenburg has
another twin: Fairtrade Town Groningen!
Tabe has already been in contact with two representatives from
Groningen and they had the same idea like Jeannette and me: to use the
twinning for making fair trade even more visible and known.
At the meeting in June (5th), which Jeannette mentioned above, I will
report about the Fairtrade Towns Campaign in Germany. Beside the
participants from Kingston there will be as well a delegation from
Groningen present. I do hope, that we all together get the Fairtrade
Towns movement to Oldenburg and that Oldenburg will become one later
as well.
With very warm regards from Germany, Kathrin
