Robots
Do you remember the robot in Kamaria's room? Well, here's what happened. After I found the robot, I remembered what Prof. Bookworm told me. He told me to throw a water bomb at Kamaria. So I did. The robot started malufuntioning and I took it to Prof. Bookworm. He told me he was thirsty after all his work and asked me to get one from the Jungle drink dispenser. I got one, but didn't have time to drink it. A GIANT robot was stealing his inventions!! To stop it, 3 pandas had to do love emote. I got help IMMEADATLY and I also got some robot furniture from Prof. Bookworm for saving Panfu
Fair Trade

Around the World – Fair Trade
May 12th, 2011Hello fluffy Pandas,
May 14 is “World Fair Trade Day”. Everything on this day revolves around Fair Trade. As you gathered from Saroj’s story, this is an important topic, because many workers and especially farmers around the world do not work under “fair” conditions at all. They make too little money for their harvest or produce.
Luckily, many organisations in the poorest countries of the world are campaigning for Fair Trade. Among other things, they fight for farmers to get the best price for their harvest and thus want to help prevent exploitation.
What is Fair Trade About?
Fair Trade is about paying workers fair prices; it is about treating them like they deserve. Because of Fair Trade, Saroj’s family gets fair payment for their tea. This ensures that they have enough money available to take care of their family without the work of their children. Instead of working, Saroj can go to school and build a better future for herself and her future family.
How is a Fair Trade Product Created?
I checked my Crystal Ball for you and watched Saroj’s family do their job. As you can see in the comic strip below, Saroj’s family puts a lot of time and effort into producing tea:
First, tea leaves are picked and of course only the good ones are selected for further processing. After that, the leaves are dried and with the help of a press, which extracts the juices from the leaves. This process also gives the leaves their brown colour.
Of course there are many more steps which we are not seeing in the pictures. Once the tea has been dried, it is weighed and sold to merchants. The tea then is packed, driven to the harbours in big trucks and shipped into all the different parts of the world, so that many people can enjoy a cup of tea!
Which Products Are „Fair Trade“ ?
Many things that we eat on a daily basis are products that Fair Trade organisations try to protect, like tea, coffee, chocolate, juice and honey. Pay attention to the products that you usually buy at a supermarket! You can also recognise products stemming from Fair Trade by their Fair Trade logo:
It is not only important to treat other people fairly in the trade of goods. As much as it is important to pay farmers in Africa or the tea pickers in India fairly, it is also important to say “Please” and “Thank You”. You should also make sure that none of your friends or other children get left out or are bullied. We should always make sure to treat others fairly in our every day life. Remember: Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself!
What do you think about Fair Trade? Do you think it is important to treat others fairly? What do you think is fair or unfair?
Love & Peace
