I did not let summer end without going to a beach. Just last weekend, I went to Boracay, but vacationing was not at the top of my priorities while in the island.
I was a saling-pusa (tag-along) as my mom, my aunt and a staff from our family business manned our booth in a trade fair in Paradise Garden Resort Hotel and Convention Center, beachfront of Boracay. The Advocate of Philippine Fair Trade, Inc. (APFTI) initiated this trade fair in celebration of the World Fair Trade Day. It is supposedly celebrated on the second week of May, but the event was held last May 28 to 30. It is the first time for both APFTI and Boracay to host an event such as this. And I'm proud to be a part of this milestone for fair traders.
