Who were with TENOHIRA?

There was a group of professional photographer, movie director and some students from Japan who spent their time in exposing hill-tribes’ culture and have a corner view of Fair-trade at TTC.

It is known that promoting awareness of inter-change culture is one of the missions that TENOHIRA organization has been doing apart from women trafficking issue.

Mr.Keigo Momose, study tour organizer from TENOHIRA said “the group visited to Karen village near by Chiang Mai to see Karen culture and life. Then brought them to TTC show room where handicraft products from villages are sold to provide sustainable income for the tribe people.” Some comments suggested that to have more information of the producers and the product story itself to display on each items.

FAIR TRADE PROMOTION

The beauty of culture has great attraction to many tour programs and visiting to hill-tribe people who live around northern Thailand is one of the unforgettable things for many visitors and tourist. At the same time, study tours become more popular for international students’ exposure trip.

It is sure that some will see only how the people, the places and villages look like but some will have a bigger interest into historical trail and traditional arts. On the other hand, it creates another pathway of promoting fair trade for TTC as its dedication of fair trade principles by presenting, discussion and showing the real products in the market to all visitors.

We really appreciate for our friends and students who were with us during their study tours. It does not necessarily need to be only a trade buyer or partners but there are a lot more to expose with TTC and its producer groups. Knowing only the simple life of the hill-tribe people in the villages will not be enough but it is good to see their world standard beautiful hand made products in fair trade market industry.

Behind the CRAFTs

With the tittle of “Meet the People Tour”, we (TTC) have one more time to welcome Traidcraft customer group here is Chiang Mai and spent half day trip to Mea Ka Pyiang where they met some Karen Producers. A group was led by Thai Craft (Bangkok) with net work arrangement of Traidcraft UK and Phu Phiang Tour Company.

This group has special interest in visiting northern Thailand, especially craft producer groups in villages to see their life and working process. It is also known that some will present about what they have seen here in Thailand when they return back home.

Many of us are mentioning what the handicraft look likes and how the quality is but we forget sometime to dig up and see who make it and where it comes from. It is the main purpose of the tour group to meet the people behind the products. In other words, it is opportunity to feel the real life of craft producers in villages.
