<br />
Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand support cotton producer groups in India. Fairtrade-certified groups benefit from Fairtrade through guaranteed prices for their produce, technical assistance to improve quality and output, and the Fairtrade premium which the producer groups decide what to do with, often using it for education and health care for their members' communities.<br />
<br />
RDFC (formerly Agrocel) is a Fairtrade-certified group of thousands of farmers who grow cotton in the Rapar, Kutch region of Gujarat in western India.

  • Father Ismael Moreno SJ, known as Padre Melo, talks about press freedom in Honduras and faith.<br />
<br />
Media in Honduras is intimately linked to the groups who have power. Moreover, power in Honduras is ultimately expressed through the capacity to control the media.  The well-established national media in the country is associated with the five powerful groups that exist in the country. Those are Grupo FICOHSA, Grupo Atlántida, Grupo Dinant, Grupo Terra and Grupo Karim’s. These groups bring together the 17 most powerful groups in Honduras, the 17 most powerful surnames in Honduras. <br />
<br />
The media, the TV, radio and printed press, normally follow the script, that they shouldn’t intimidate these groups, and ultimately express the interests of these powerful groups.<br />
<br />
So, the media in Honduras is extremely conditioned by the owners, who are part of these economic groups, and who have more power than any government. They are the real government, and they have the ability to veto any sort of candidature that could affect their interests. These are the five groups that were behind the coup of 2009 and these are the five groups that are behind the re-election of Juan Orlando Hernandez, and these are the five groups that have the power of veto over any candidate that has the shadow of Manuel Zelaya Rosales. Manuel Zelaya Rosales represents a threat to these five powerful groups. <br />
<br />
These five groups are tightly linked to the embassy of the United States of America. For the government of the United States, Honduras has a geopolitical interest, without an interest of what life is like in the country. They are wary of political instability, they prefer alliances with the old politicians, even if they are tainted with corruption and are responsible for human rights abuses. <br />
<br />
The media are property, in these sectors of power. So, for the media that aren’t in the script, that relate with defenders of human rights, that relate with opposition, that are outside of the area of control of

  • La Cruz in Las Flores, Jocotán, Guatemala. This part of the country is highly affected by climate change. Rainfall patterns in the last seven years have been unreliable, with too little or too irregular rainfall to get harvest of corn and beans. Many farmers have lost the seeds they plant. As the drought seems unending, the farmers diversify their income searching for employment as day labourers, travelling often for months at a time.

  • Palm Sunday in Guatemala City. The procession of Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros celebrates the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, when he rode on a donkey and people placed palms on the ground before him. These processions date back to the 1780s. Bearers, known as cucuruchos, carry extremely heavy floats as a painful act of penitence, they arrive fasting and in prayer. The cortege is led by clouds of pine incense. There are moments of silence and from time to time the bands that follow the cortege play solemn music. The atmosphere is charged. 112 men carry Jesus Nazareno de los Milagros, and the cortege is followed by Mary, carried by 56 women. The procession starts at 7am and goes on til midnight, with about 120 different groups taking a turn at carrying the floats.
