By CLAIRE MUNN Senior Editor [email protected] The IUS community traveled abroad and experi- enced international lifestyles by visiting the Hoosier Room during the annual Wares of the World event. Hosted by the International Pro- gram, the event took place on Oct. 10 and 11 and featured an array of fair trade items from across the world, including jewelry from Peru, purses from Guatemala and scarves from Nepal. The items were provided by Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade retailer that creates a market for artisan prod- ucts to be sold. Valerie Sco, senior lecturer in psy- chology and co-director of the Interna- tional Programs, said the importance of fair trade is acknowledging the ability of people to produce items for survival. “First of all, it raises awareness that even people in developing countries can be creative, artistic and understand beauty,” she said. “Another, more economical, lesson is that actu- ally those people take into their hands the ability to provide for themselves.” The cost of the merchandise ranging from $1.50 to almost $60. In addition, 95 percent of the total proceeds went to the artisans and 5 percent helped with the cost of the International Programs and study abroad scholarships.
