Description

"The Student's Coalition is a group of students focused on helping to alleviate human needs around the world in whatever ways they can. During International Peace Day, we set up a table on at Santa Barbara City College. The Shop for Peace was a chance for us to sell fair trade products from Sudan, Rwanda and Nepal. We purchased the pieces they are selling directly from the lovely ladies and young children that made them. Our purchases help these women afford cattle to nourish themselves and their families, erect sustainable agriculture complexes and provide other essential tools for living. The purchases of our fellow students help us to organize awareness campaigns that can in turn help us raise more money to continually help the people from war torn and poverty ridden communities. "
