Sam's Day April 4th at Ten Thousand Villages Stores

Ten Thousand Villages is a non-profit Fair Trade organization that buys products from artisans in developing countries around the world and sells them in retail stores across Canada. Sarah has been volunteering at the Oakville store and one day she was showing the manager the information from the Master Works concert. One thing led to another and now 8 stores across Ontario have declared April 4th 2009 Sam's day.
