Nuevo grupo

original en castellano, más abajo

After the shop, Luna and Paula signed up, together with Jose and Josu, for the group of Fede and Mentxu. They did not have an enormous store but in Fede and Mentxu’s house could keep sufficient quantities as to go to fairs and to sell and to give talks and to raise awareness. Luna and Paula would always remember how cold they were in some of those fairs that January, and how Mentxu always made sure there was always enough warm coffe, and all those talks to explain to people that fair trade coffee was not expensive, but good and well paid. And they understood that the people with few resources could not buy these products, which were costing double that of bargain sales of the supermarkets, but for them the difference was more than clear.

A new fair trade group formed in the city but Paula knew soon that she would not be a part of it, at least in the long run. Paula kept on learning in the months that continued at the end of the shop with this group, but she was already imagining herself / looking beyond the sea.

Después de la tienda, Luna y Paula se apuntaron, junto con Jose y Josu, al grupo de Fede y Mentxu. No tenían un almacén enorme pero en la casa de fede y mentxu cabían suficientes cantidades como para ir a ferias y vender y dar charlas y concienciar. Luna y Paula recordarían siempre el frío que pasaron en algunas ferias aquel enero, y de que Mentxu se encargaba de que no faltara el café calentito, y de las charlas a la gente para que entendieran que el café de comercio justo no era caro, sino que era bueno y pagado justamente. Y entendían que la gente con pocos recursos no pudiera tomar de estos productos, que costaban el doble que los baratos de los supermercados, pero para ellas estaba más que clara la diferencia.

Se formó un grupo nuevo de comercio justo en la ciudad pero Paula supo pronto que ella no formaría parte de él, al menos no por mucho tiempo. Siguió aprendiendo Paula en los meses que siguieron al cierre de la tienda con este grupo, pero ella ya se imaginaba/estaba mirando más allá del mar.
