Who works for your Easter Bunny?

Children love Easter Eggs, except the ones who are forced to make them. America is the world's largest consumer of chocolate. In 2000 we ate 3.3 billions pounds of chocolate and spent $13 billion on it. This year we're asking you to eat and buy differently. The US State Department's Human Rights Report acknowledged that some 10,000 children between the ages of 9 and 12 have been sold into forced labor on cotton, coffee and cocoa plantations in the northern Ivory Coast in recent years. This Easter you can be part of ending child labor slavery by purchasing fair trade chocolate for your loved ones, by teaching others about the issue or by raising money to supprt the campaign. The students at Azuza Pacific University made a difference this Valetines when they sold Fair Trade chocolate as an alternative, not only is the chocolate yummy, the profits help to change lives.
