Harriet Lamb round-up

27 June 2011 | Posted by julia in All Good News, Banana lovers, General

Wooo-whheeeee what a week last week was. The awesomely inspiring Harriet Lamb arrived in New Zealand on Monday and powered through a schedule that would make a marathon runner’s feet bleed. All conducted with a smile and infectious enthusiasm, her passion for Fairtrade is incredibly evident. But don’t just take our word for it…

We’ve collected a number of last week’s key events for you to peruse, view, listen and share.

Monday started with an interview on TVNZ’s breakfast show with Petra, which you can watch here.

After more interviews and meetings a-plenty, Sarin from 95bfm chatted with Harriet over lunch. The interview is well worth a listen, which you can do here.

One of Monday’s many events was an afternoon tea at Main Course with Dish magazine. Claire Aldous from Dish magazine whipped up a super-yummy Fairtrade choc & banana cake, whilst Harriet Lamb spoke about her experiences with the Fairtrade banana market in the UK.

One of the best pieces we saw over the week was the article and interview with TV3 for Nightline. It details just where the extra dollar goes. If you haven’t watched it yet, then you can here.

Then it was onto Dunedin & Wellington to meet and chat with Fairtrade supporters there, back in time for Good magazine’s cocktail event and lastly the panel discussion chaired by Bomber Bradbury with Barry Coates from Oxfam and our very own Chris Morrison.
