Question Sheets for BSF #8

Dear B/S,

Our Bible Study Fellowship comes around again this August and we are going to study Daniel Chapter 8. I have just sent you an email with necessary questions in three image files. The questions seem a bit tougher than usual, hence, we had better prepare for them sooner rather than later. Haha..... Thanks.

ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN THIS SECOND PART OF BIBLE STUDY EVEN THOUGH YOU DID'T PARTICIPATE OUR FIRST PART OF STUDY IN THE PAST !!

Date : 24th August (Sunday)
Time : 2:15pm-4:15pm
Venue: 來恩樓6樓


In Christ,

Fellowship this Sunday (Aug 10)

Dear B/S,

We are honoured by having Mr. Chiu Sin Wing who is a Christian and a responsible officer for Hong Kong Fair Trade Power (香港公平貿易動力) coming to share with us a branch of social responsibility topic which relates to fair trade this Sunday. With the mission of promoting fair trade practices in HK and China, the social enterprise strengthens consumers' understanding of the concepts of fair trade and markets fair trade products.

Why is this topic important and relevant to us ? In today's extremely competitive markets where developed countries with strong government backing (do you remember what the critics of the World Trade Organization pleaded for ??) and efficient commercial giants (some of them don't follow the rules of fair game) are taking substantial market share globally or even monopolizing every industry, the market failure is that upstream raw materials producers with poor bargaining power like farmers and factory workers are the weakest link without protection against deprivation of basic monetary rewards and human rights. Fair trades transact in alternative markets organised by social organizations just like Hong Kong Fair Trade Power, or the likes. Such social enterprises rigidly ensure that the set of fair trade principles (against unfair international trade treaties) and socially responsible practices (e.g. reasonable pay and working conditions for workers/farmers, production processes are environmental friendly and minorities are protected) are strictly adhered to along the whole product supply chain and encourage socially responsible consumptions by linking up supportive consumers and the network of self-help producers whose livelihoods require protection.

Fair Trade is a thought-provoking topic that can lead to a radical reshaping of the ways we consume. Mr. Chiu Sin Wing is going to give us detailed explanations this Sunday. WANNA COME AND HEAR HIS STRATEGIES ?
