For Social Studies we watched a documentary about Child Labour in Ghana. The labour that the children had to work in was Coco Farms. Something that I have learnt about the “Darker Side of Chocolate" story is fair trade and its impact. I learnt that Fair Trade could help the families of communities because as part of the fair trade, Cocoa beans could be traded for three times its price, where in exchange communities will be provided with water taps that provide clean fresh water, food and many other resources that could fulfil the daily needs of families.
Something that individuals and groups could do to help protect these communities are, we could start to buy fair trade chocolate or any other products that are fair trade, spread awareness of what is happening in communities like Ghana or even create campaigns that could support fair trade companies.
