This does not directly relate to fashion but it's great for Africa, plus it's written by a friend of mine so I got to represent:

Firstly thanks for everyones support already! I thought this was definitely worth sharing with you all - In 1988, Oxfordshire farmer Peter Reade went to Uganda to help start our programme there. In 2008, he returned for the first time in 10 years. Follow his journey through our Passing On Hope film - http://www.sendacow.org.uk/ourwork/ourworkonfilm - would love your thoughts on this! :-)

Just a reminder to all:

Jacqueline has organized a meet and greet for those interested in ethical sourcing from Africa.

Let's all meet at the Rich Mix bar at 5:30, just before this seminar.

Hope to see you all there!!

For those who don't know:

Tuesday June 23rd
6pm

Certification and Standards Seminar

Certification, standards and labelling for fashion products is an increasingly complex topic. In today’ s climate of conscious consumers and probing press and buyers, high sustainability standards and robust certification systems are essential.

This seminar looks in depth at the range of certification and standards options available for fashion businesses. The seminar will approach the issues from a practitioner’s perspective, assessing different models of production and sizes of business; the most appropriate certification; labelling and standard setting options; and how these can be built into business models.

Alongside this seminar, representatives from certification, labelling, and standard setting bodies will be invited to exhibit and distribute information about the options available.

Hey everyone, I thought this would be a good place to mention the "Build an African Farmyard" - If anybody thinks their children's school or maybe their church etc may be interested?! Taking part in this project will enable your school to carry out exciting learning activities at the same time as raising money for poor families in Africa using our pack of fun ideas, information and facts. A lot of fun :-) If anyone wants any more info let me know x

Hi there. If anyone looking for African made organic or conventional cotton tees / leisurewear for men, women, kids or babies have a look at our range. Most of it is produced in our factory in Tanzania. www.mantisworld.com We can custom make your own designs or you can buy blanks from stock (in which case there's no min. qty!)
