Hello, my name is Bravo Brazil!

This is the Little Book of Fairness, and I'm Captain Cocoa, the superfruit cocoa pod. Before we begin I would like to introduce you to my new friend Bravo Brazil, the superfruit Brazil nut. Bravo Brazil is from Peru in South America. We work with Shared Interest and believe in a fairer world. Shared Interest helps farmers in 49 countries. They make sure fair trade farmers are paid well and have enough money to live.
