Looking back at the year gone by, Ms. Kalai Selvi, Head of the School, Vidyashilp Academy said, "The second year of Fairtrade week celebration at our school is indeed offering moments of absolute delight. Our children recognize the importance of considered choices; they understand and value the role of the farmer in their lives. They are sensitive to the fact that if they don't take small steps to minimize exploitation, the cost will be too high for them to pay later. Shilpites are learning to be fair. They are showing their sensitivity in action by asking the right questions and thinking twice as a consumer."
