By a strange coincidence I happened to visit a Fair Trade fair at Brighton
during my recent visit to Sussex and a volunteer from London had come over
to sell Just Change's tea. See the picture below. It was fascinating to see
the spirit of many of the volunteers at the meet.
Do send Stan's contact let me see if we can get him over to the institute
sometime.

Dear All,
I had contacted Mr. Stan Thekaekara for our Make Fair Trade
presentation. I am forwarding the mail that I recieved during the course of
our communication with Mr. Stan Thekaekara. Though I got the mail long back
but it just slipped out of my mind to send it all to you.

Dear Saurabh
Thank you for your email. If you would like more information on fair trade,

In a sentence, fair trade is an attempt to give fairer prices to Producers,
factoring in all costs and allowing them to enjoy a decent standard of
living. At Just Change, we try to go one step further by directly linking
producer and consumer communities to establish a just system of trade. You
