To that end I have some questions and will share with you something from my travels.

1. why would you choose to buy fair-trade over any other brand
2. Should the concept of fair-trade be extended to European farmers? Why

Last year was an interesting year for me in more than one way. Ethnic Supplies headed out in a new direction as service provider. The first person wanting my services was a coffee roaster based in North London and my brief was to help him trade more ethically! The first thing we did was to hit the road to Uganda so that I could introduce him to some coffee growers. Our first stop was Eastern Uganda, home to the famous Bugisu Arabica coffee beans.

I enjoyed them so much so that I keep listening again and I was stopped in my tracks
on the issue of marriage and the state?

Should the state be interested in who gets married to whom?
Should it be a free for all, anyone can perform the marriage ceremony?
Should people marry at all?

All marriages same sex or not should be civil marriages
Do you agree, if so why?

Why is the state interested in the issue of marriage?

Have you got any thoughts on this matter?

If so please do share

Did you know too that they have their own annual awards ceremeony to celebrate the achievements of women of colour?

I am proud to announce that Ethnic Supplies ltd is a finalist as the Best Ethical Business category in The 2009 PRECIOUS Awards.

A big thank you to all those that support me on and off line

What has caught my attention in all this was a radio interview I heard the other day in which the views of ordinary Swiss and US folk were solicited.

Those in USA were of the view that regardless of what time has elapsed the Swiss authorities were right to arrest Polanski whilst those in Switzerland were of the view that, it was wrong to arrest Polanski especially given the time taht has elapsed and he should released immediately.

A comment from a Swiss woman stood out for me in particular she said,]]> http://ethnicsupplies.org/sustainable-developmnet/development-policy/community/roman-polanski-views-from-switzerland-vs-usa-2/feed 0
