It is inspiring to see children empowered- those students must have a fantastic teacher who knows that social justice issues make for a rich curriculum. Hmmmm...how would standardized testing from the government assess the learning that is so obviously taking place here? We need to support this type of educational experience, not focus on traditional methods of learning and testing.
I only watched the first three minutes, but it looks like the result of obvious fishing for stories. Blaming Nestle, Mars, and Cadburry is way off. Raw ingredients are often sold to these companies that have been moved through a number of different brokers.
Yes, the chocolate supply chain is complex. However, so many (and smaller) companies CAN track the supply chain to ensure that their cocoa products are slave-free. So WHY can't the big companies do it?
Oh and incidentally, Cadbury already tracks one of its chocolates to make sure its slave-free but they don't seem to want to extend this practice to the rest of their chocolates.
thanks for posting this.
this project we done got more publicity and support than we ever expected.
it's been a few years since then, and not too many changes have yet been made.
i hope we can get this campaign up and running again at full force, as we are all older, brighter and are armed with more questions this time round.
