Flairtrade!



In a remarkable end-of-year campaign, Oxfam, with the help of various public figures including Elio Di Rupo, Guy Verhofstadt, Tom Barman and others, is trying to raise awareness of fair trade. On Oxfam's campaign website, you can also see a few snapshots from "the making of" these striking images by the well-known Flemish photographer Lieve Blancquaert.

I aim to please ;) It's just that I was reminded of it when I was in the Oxfam shop earlier today and saw their brochure with all the campaign pictures in it. You have to admire Elio -- you can see his chest hair through his shirt ;-)

Of course, it was meant to be a joke...

I did realize that, naturally -- what do you take me for? ;)

I of course knew you knew it was a joke! It was just to make clear to the other students that I was sarcastic... We never know ! ;-)

Stop making fun of Elio! He's a role model for all second-generation immigrants like me!
