Sir Graham Henry - Oxfam's Biggest Coffee Break

The video was made this weekend to promote Sir Graham's Fair Trade Me auction with Oxfam for Oxfam's Biggest Coffee Break.

Celebs Give Fair Trade A Go With Oxfam
April 5, 2012

Kiwi celebs are up on the auction block this week to promote fair trade with Oxfam. The organisation’s Fair Trade Me auctions launch April 5 on Trade Me, and for 10 days New Zealanders can bid for the chance to win fair trade coffee dates with their favourite celebrity or notable New Zealander.

Bidders can choose from five fantastic Fair Trade Me auctions including: a coffee with Sir Graham Henry at his favourite café; a cuppa on the set of Nothing Trivial with Shane Cortese; a morning learning culinary skills with chefs at top Wellington restaurant Logan Brown, followed by a degustation lunch with owner/chef Steve Logan; a visit to the Degas to Dali exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery and lunch with Almighty Johnsons actress Michelle Langston, and; a one on one mentoring session and goodie bag from Starfish eco-fashion designer Laurie Foon.

The Fair Trade Me auctions, held in conjunction with Oxfam’s Biggest Coffee Break, help raise awareness of fair trade and funds for Oxfam’s work with growers and producers throughout the developing world.

“Supporting the Oxfam Coffee Break campaign feels good,” says Wellington restaurateur Steve Logan. “It’s helping the little guy over the massive corporations and faceless shareholders. It’s easy to help just by choosing everyday Fairtrade-labelled products like bananas or coffee over others.”
Sir Graham Henry agrees: “It’s a pleasure to help struggling growers in developing countries get a better deal and in doing so meet some interesting people for coffee and a chat.” More>>
