Some of you may be familiar with the infamous doll with the removable eyes and mouth. The dolls were made by a local dollmaker in Chiang Mai, Thailand and discovered during one of our buying trips a few springs ago. We named our office doll Ralph and decided to make a little movie. (As soon as Ralph heard about an opportunity to help spread the word about Fair Trade, he was in!) So check out Ralph’s movie short, and if you like it, share it with others to keep the smiles coming.
So check out Ralph's film debut:
If you link to the Ralph video on your blog or website, let us know and we'll give you a shout out on our blog. And if you have a Ralph doll, send us a photo of you and your Ralph doll and we'll post it on our blog.
If you want to pick up a Ralph doll, now is a good time. They’re on sale on our website.
A quick shout out to Jamie and our friends at TransFair USA for spreading the word about Ralph in a recent e-newsletter. On another note, TransFair USA just announced (on March 9, 2009) an extended list of Certified Fair Trade products. Visit TransFair's website to read the ever expanding list of Certified Fair Trade products.

Global Exchange,
I don't have a website, so I just posted this to my Facebook profile so my friends can see it. Hopefully they'll buy a Ralph doll, and maybe me one for my birthday coming up ;-)
Best,
