WHAT CAN YOU DO TO GET THE TRAFFIK FREE GUARANTEE?

• Tell us what you are doing to campaign for a Traffik Free chocolate and inspire others on how they can get involved to stop children being trafficked to work on cocoa farms.
• Take a survey on your high street, with your friends, in your work/school/community group. Check out the results gathered so far.
• This mask shows the face of Chaga, the trafficked child in the story of Chaga and the Chocolate Factory. His face is a haunting reminder of the 12,000 trafficked children who are working on cocoa plantations today.
  
  We want the face of Chaga to be seen everywhere. His face will be the face of the traffik free guarantee campaign. So print off the face and cut it out. Create a mask. Take a photo of as many people as you can wearing the Chaga mask standing in groups, on your own, holding traffik free chocolate, standing outside newsagents, by vending machines, outside supermarkets, by chocolate shops. Then place the photos in as many places as possible. Email it out to your friends. Place it onto flickr.com, my space and blogs. The face of Chaga can spread the story of the traffcked children working on the Ivory Coast.
• Collect fair trade wrappers and make chains out of the wrappers of fair traded and ethically sourced chocolate and put them round a major building or landmark in your area. Let a local newspaper know you are doing it. Video what you are doing and put the video on YouTube and tell us what you’ve done at info@stopthetraffik.org.
• Ask your supermarket and corner shop to stock fair trade/ethically sourced chocolate. Use the draft letter to shop managers and either send it as written or compose your own.
• Download the poster and see if your local shops that sell chocolate will be willing to join us and to put the poster up in their window.
• Ask your supermarket to put the chocolate with a 'Traffik Free Guarantee' next to the check-outs, so we stop impulse buying of chocolate that has been produced from trafficked labour.
• Talk to hospital staff asking for Traffik Free Guaranteed chocolate in your vending machines/shops. Video the meeting and post it on YouTube and tell us about it at info@stopthetraffik.org.
• Send an SMS message to your friends telling them to only eat chocolate with the 'Traffik Free Guarantee'.
• Put a display on in your school, church, community group, showing the truth about cocoa slavery. Look at the e-book 'Chaga And The Chocolate Factory' and ideas from the 'Where's does all our chocolate come from? Fight for the Traffik Free Guarantee' lesson plan.
• Start a sign up list of your friends and neighbors who will pledge to only eat Traffik Free chocolate.
• Video yourself protesting next to a chocolate vending machine, handing out samples of Traffik Free chocolate or pictures or stickers etc and upload it to youtube.  See the films others have already made.
• Design and make your own t-shirts. Maybe you can make it a local competition and get everyone to fight for 'Traffik Free Guarantee chocolate' and change their chocolate eating habits.
• Talk to businesses in your area - ask them to change their choice of chocolate in their vending machine. Download the poster for them to put in their office/shop window and stock it with Traffik Free chocolate.
• Ask your local MP whether he or she condemns the use of trafficked children on cocoa farms in Ivory Coast. Video the answer and post it on YouTube, linked to our myspace.
•  Download the stickers demanding a Traffik Free Guarantee and print it off on an A4 labels (available from high street stationary shops), cut it into stickers. Talk to your local shop keeper, the supermarket boss, those who run the cafeteria in your place of work, your head teacher and see if they will use the sticker to identify the products that have a Traffik Free Guarantee. These stickers are for you to use to profile and promote this campaign.
