Notes from March 2, 2007:

The Fair Trade Zone:

"In Nicaragua there are many free trade zones where mainly women work in "sweat shops", producing clothing under unacceptable labor conditions, long hours and low pay. In a cooperative, the workers are the owners. We are working together to create sustainable employment in the community so that we can support ourselves and our families. Watch the video about the co-op Ants that Move Mountains."
