Mariposa Barbie Welcomes Fair Trade Doll To Fairytopia
By John Frank
MARIPOSA BARBIE: Hi! You're new! You came from Hannah's aunt Jane who runs
the food co-op! What's your name?! I'm Mariposa Barbie and this is
Hannah's room! I call it Fairytopia!
FAIR TRADE DOLL: I don't have a name. I am a Fair Trade Doll, handcrafted
by members of Kutch Mahila Vikas Sanghathan, a collective of over 4,000
rural women living in the western Indian state of Gujarat, for whom the
proceeds from my sale have provided 25 cups of food.
MARIPOSA BARBIE: Yummy! I'm made by Mattel and helped boost Q2 profits 15%
globally! Did you know that through Global Barbie(TM) you can view my
website in several different foreign languages?...
