On Wednesday, Sam, a lady from TradeAid came to visit us and talk about Aroha. She talked about how people had to make sacrifices to live. She said that TradeAid trades things that they make in their poor village with alpaca fur. Sam brought in some stuff that they made like a handmade book and some handmade musical instruments. It is amazing that these people live in those conditions yet they have amazing talents and lucky for them they get paid for it. TradeAid gets the thing they create and when someone buys it they give the money to the person they originally got it from. At the end Sam let us play a game called 'chocolate' so some people were us and some people were the poor people. The poor people got about six pieces of chocolate and we got about twelve pieces of chocolate. So now we know how the poor people feel and how that is unfair.
