I had planned on a local report for the reverse trick or treat campaign but unfortunatly that did not work out because I couldn't be in town. Thanks for the reminder.

One thing I'd add - given that tomorrow is Halloween - is that Equal Exchange and Cocoa Camino (Canada) and a number of non-profit groups (Global Exchange especially) have again organized a North American-wide "Reverse Trick-or-Treating" campaign to raise awareness of the forced child labor problem and how Fair Trade is one, immediate step the public and interested groups and businesses can take. see: http://www.EqualExchange.coop/reverse and http://www.ReverseTrickorTreating.org Michael,
