Fair Trade; School in Liberia & Cleveland in 50 Maps

How does fair trade help women and children in Central America and other developing parts of the world, and how are fair trade products being sold in Northeast Ohio? We'll discuss on The Sound of Ideas ahead of the Ohio Fair Trade Teach-in and Expo Saturday at John Carroll University. Later, a Clevelander from Liberia went back home and built the first school in his remote village. Isaac Monah tells us about the Dougbe River Presbyterian School. And, a new book explores Cleveland in 50 maps.
