Launched last year, the Real Easter Egg – the only Easter Egg to mention the Easter story – proved hugely popular with churches, schools and the general public.
Despite its obvious appeal, once again supermarkets have still not placed large enough orders to meet the likely demand.
So, to make the Real Easter Egg campaign a success in 2012, we need individuals, churches and schools to place direct orders in January and February.
There’s a free Easter story booklet which comes in each box as well as a range of resources around the egg that can be downloaded for free to enthuse and engage your whole school! We hope that teachers will use the eggs to teach about citizenship, the meaning of Easter, the role of Fairtrade and the place of charitable giving. Register with the Meaningful Chocolate Company to access the resources or if you have already registered click here.
As an added bonus, a donation from the sale of each egg goes to Traidcraft to support its vital overseas development work with small-scale farmers and artisans.
Orders have already started coming in and thousands of eggs have been sold to previous customers.
With your help we can change the Easter egg market forever by making it more spiritual, more generous and more faithful.
