In ESOL, we have been learning about the effects of unfair trade. We have also looked at fair trade. This is for the cacao growers who only get 6,6% of the value of tonnes of cocoa sold. This affects the wellbeing of the growers. There are more than this. There is a dark side to the chocolate industry. Young children are trafficked from poor countries in Africa to work in cocoa farms. They are lied about being paid but instead are abused. They do not get what an average child would have. The table below states some of the things that will be affected by unfair trade.
In English, we have been making candles. We used soy wax which has different procedures. This is the method.
Method:
- Weigh your wax. There were 4 of us making candles so we had 500g(1lb).
- Using a double boiler melt your wax. While the wax is melting, prepare your cup/jar by sticking the wick.
- Check the temperature continuously. The temperature must not exceed 75℃.
- When all the wax has melted, take it off the stove and wait for it to cool down to 65℃ before adding the essence.
- When the wax is cool enough, add the essence and mix vigorously.
- Pour your wax into a pouring jug before pouring into the jar.
- After pouring the melted wax into the jar, let it sit overnight.
- Once the candle has set, cut the wick to at least 2cm.
Your candle is all set to go. It is recommended to leave your candle for at least 2 weeks before lighting it. It is optional.😀
