They roamed the open fields, grass was plenty,colored by blue bonnets and Indian paintbrush, the skies were azure blue,spotted with white clouds.
They roamed free in Texas.
Until one day they realized they were there for a purpose. The meat lovers chopped them, teared their skin off them, polished their horns and named them long horns.
Even after they died, celebrated their life and decorated their homes with their remains.
The life of Texas Cattle! The Long Horns.

Fair Trade Shop - Fuu'z organised a Fashion Show
The whole world needs to know that what we wear is very important part of who we are.Blinding following the trend and buying brands is common but Fair Trade takes us back to the roots.
Cotton the base of all clothing is produced using harmful insecticides. It is time we change it to organic cotton. Where does that start ? Where it is produced. Nepal's garment industry is booming and fair trade has helped make the laborers earn a fair share.
I participated in this fashion show to share and learn about world trade!
