They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

This trip was part of the biennial tours that FairMail organizes in Europe to promote our activities and raise awareness of our mission.</p> <p>We were overwhelmed by the hospitality, the kindness and the generosity of the people we met, which all contributed to make this trip truly special for Julissa and Kzannier.</p> <p>The photographers did an excellent job as FairMail Ambassadors, they for sure stepped outside their comfort zone multiple times and they perfectly lived up to their role.</p> <p>In Germany they met the students and the teachers of the <a href="https://www.eh-ludwigsburg.de/">Evangelische Hochschule in Ludwigsburg </a>and the <a href="https://www.ebc-hochschule.de/en/">EBC Hochschule University of Hamburg</a>, two great opportunities to discuss the impact that FairMail has on the teenage photographers and their families and to spread the word on volunteering vacancies. They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

They promoted FairMail at the fair-trade “Fair Handeln” in Stuttgart and visited our German publisher <a href="https://www.goldbek-verlag.de/">Goldbek</a> in Hamburg, where they gained precious insights on the German greeting card market. You should have seen their faces when they saw for the first time their cards on sale in the Weltladen store in Ludwigsburg, they just couldn’t believe it! It was for them an incredible recognition for their talent and hard work.</p> <p>In Italy, they participated in a photo workshop at <a href="http://www.reflextribe.com/">Reflex Tribe</a>, a prestigious photo school in Turin, they led a photo contest in <a href="https://eisworld.eu/">EISWORLD</a> – an ICT company that has been supporting FairMail for 3 years now. They met with the staff of <a href="https://www.advicegroup.it/">Advice Group</a>, which largely contributed to the trip, they went on a hike on the Alps with outdoor photographer <a href="https://www.simococco.com/about">Simone Cocco</a>, they took pictures at the fair-trade fashion show organized by the Italian fair-trade network <a href="https://www.altromercato.it/it_it/">Altromercato</a>. They also had the opportunity to help the 4 renowned Italian photojournalists from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/collettivoX/">Collettivo X </a>set up their photo exhibition and present FairMail at the inauguration of the show. They also visited printing house <a href="http://www.tipografiacommerciale.com/">Tipografia Commerciale </a>to learn how the card printing process works.</p> <p>However, as much as their role in Europe was demanding, their biggest responsibility was to share with the rest of the photographers everything that they have learned, so that they could all benefit from this experience and grow as photographers.</p> <p>This trip couldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all the people who contributed to the cause, so from the deepest of our hearts, we thank you and we are forever grateful!</p> <p><a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-4073" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="453" height="272" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-300x180.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1-768x461.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Diapositiva1.jpg 992w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></a></p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>As many of you probably already know, Julissa and Kzannier visited Germany and Italy for 3 weeks in April and May.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to keep growing and improving.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: Never be afraid to show who you really are and what you are capable of achieving. Never feel lesser than your male counterparts and don’t let people underestimate you.</p> ', 'protected' => false ), 'excerpt' => array( 'rendered' => '<p>On the occasion of the International Women’s Day, and inspired by the WFTO campaign on #womenleaders, we interviewed FairMail Peruvian managers Anidela Rios Pizan (21) and Angeles Acevedo Bobadilla (22) to gain a better insight of what being a young woman leader in Peru really means.

How does it work? Where do we take the photographers? How do we decide who enters FairMail? With this blog post we’ll walk you through the entire process to become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>Whenever one of the older photographers turn 19, they leave FairMail and therefore there is a vacancy to be filled. We normally work with 10 teenagers, although there are times when we have more and times when we have less.</p> <p>We collaborate with local NGOs and associations that recommend us boys and girls that might fit well in FairMail: motivated, respectful and willing to learn. Having photography skills is not a requirement.</p> <p>Once we have our choice of prospect photographers, we train them for a period of time that can range between one and two months. The training consists in free photography classes where they learn the basics of photography and they start familiarizing with their cameras.</p> <p>At the end of the training period the prospect photographers take a theory and a practical test that help us realize how much they have learned. The result of test, combined with an assessment of their attitude and personality give us a clear picture of who can become a FairMail photographer.</p> <p>When the decision is made, the new photographers, together with their families, are introduced to FairMail and they sign the contract that will rule their participation in the company.

As a women-owned and led social enterprise, we are committed to the principle of gender equality and women empowerment and with this interview we want to celebrate all women worldwide in decision making and managerial positions within the WFTO community.</p> <p><strong>What are you proud of about your work?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I’m proud about a lot of things but If I had to pick one, I’d say that I really like when the FairMail photographers come to me for advice. In those moments I realize that the relationships we build go behind the manager-photographer dynamic and it’s more like a relationship between friends. It makes me feel special that they see me as someone they can trust and rely on and this motivates me to be a good role model and the best possible version of myself.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I feel particularly proud when I’m helping the photographers turn their photo ideas into beautiful images. I really like to be part of this creative process: choosing the props, the background, the lights and everything. And the best part is when we look back at the first images they took and realize the progress they’ve made.</p> <p><strong>What was your situation before you started working for Fair Trade? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: I remember I was a bit lost, because I had just failed an entry test at university, and I didn’t really know what do next. I figured that I would stay at home, helping my mother out and give myself some time to reconsider my future plans. I didn’t really have anything solid on my hands.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: I was studying (and still am) Business Management at the university of Trujillo and I had a part-time job selling meals at the bus terminal with my aunt. I’ve never complained about the job, but I knew I could do more.<a href="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4062 alignleft" src="http://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="199" srcset="https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.fairmail.info/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/WFTO_Womens-Day_image_Anidela.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px" /></a></p> <p><strong>How has working here changed impacted your life/ your family/ your community?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>working for FairMail has significantly contributed to my personal growth and helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I have learned how to run a small enterprise, and this makes me feel more confident about my skills and potential. I am now more aware of what I can achieve in life. Economically speaking I can now support myself and my family and I love the feeling of being free to decide how I want to invest my money for my future. I can pay for my studies knowing that I’m not being a burden for my family.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: On a personal level I feel more confident and responsible. I’m using what I’ve learned in FairMail to give advice to my sisters and help them make better choices for their lives. I was particularly happy when a professor of mine from university congratulated me on my achievement as a FairMail manager. I also love the fact that I can support my family and my sisters, and it makes me feel really happy to know that my parents are very proud of me.</p> <p><strong>What do you hope to achieve in the future? </strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>I want to get my English certification and start university in August. I’m also saving money for my 2020 trip to Europe!</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: At an educational level, I want to graduate on time and start taking English classes. At a professional level I want to create a webpage for my chocolate-making business and at a personal level, I want to buy myself a camera and keep taking pictures!</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges you are facing being a woman leader?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles: </strong>In FairMail, I’ve never had any problem for being a woman, in fact I think that being a woman brings me closer to the teenage photographers. Outside FairMail, it sometimes happens that people don’t take me seriously because they see me as young and unexperienced. What bothers me the most is that they think they know how to do my job better than me and it’s always frustrating to have to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong>Anidela</strong>: my experience is very similar to Angeles’. Some of the people we deal with outside FairMail find it difficult to accept that a young woman can be in charge of an enterprise and they simply don’t take me seriously. I always have to make twice the effort to gain their trust first, and then to be listened.</p> <p><strong>What’s your message to other women?</strong></p> <p><strong>Angeles</strong>: To other women in decision making positions, I’d say be honest to yourself and to others. Never let diminishing remarks question how much you value and find your way to be independent so that no one can stop you from shaping your own future. Last but not least, I would say never stop learning, it’s the only way to k
