is there anybody here who knows "world shops"? it is a particular kind of shop, where you can find many things from the third world nation...like the, caffe, chocolate , but also clothes and many more

the important is that the price of everithing pespect the rights and the life of the maker

Hi Umano,

I know the shops you're talking about. Many of them sell 'fair trade' products, promoted by organisations such as EFTA. I once bought bongos from such a shop, though their use never really went beyond irritating my siblings.

There are a few in Malta. Most of them sell African clothing and jewellery, South American coffee, and spices from the Far East. There is one market, called the 'Artisan Market', which is quite popular, though the stated origin of some the goods is questionable.
