From Ng Lena, BRG Schloss Wagrain, Vöcklabruck, Austria, Nov. 2, 2009:

Last year I told you that we're trying to get Coca-Cola out of our school. And we did it! Since the beginning of the new school year, there's no more Coke at our school.

The problem about the whole thing is that all students, except for a little group, don't know why there's no Coke at our school… But when I told some of my classmates, why we don't want to have Coke again, they were really surprised.

So I think when they get some time to think about that what I told them, most of the students will be in agreement with our decision.

I really think they only need some time…My religion teacher also told his classes why we have no more Coke and I think other teachers also will do it. So, I think in a month, they will all know the reasons for getting Coke out of our school.

From Sharon Natt, Reading University Student Union, UK:

Just had some fantastic news…due to pressure and success of our Killer Coke Campaign, Reading University’s Student Union is now installing TWO fair trade drinks machines in the unlicensed social space in the RUSU union! (as per the amended motion).

This would not have happened without our campaign, so well done!!!

Much love to everyone. Keep the campaign for fair trade going.

The power of the individual is infinite!
