    Hi Rosanne,

    thanks for the link to your company.
    I'm only a novice weaver, but I'm really sold on it...

    I'm curious to know more about the whole setting of your company. I guess, in the UK your company would be considered a "social business", meaning, that it serves more than just the goal of generating profit.
    I guess you're quite busy, but I'd be really keen to learn more about it all.
    In return, I could write up what I learn in a 1-page article for the 21st Century Blog http://21st-centurynetwork.com/blog/ as a portrait of you as a social entrepreneur and your aims with your company, if that would be of interest for you.
    Here a link that explains what the 21st Century Network is: http://www.meetup.com/21stCenturyNetwork/

    I manage the above mentioned blog for them as a volunteer managing editor.

    I'm looking forward to hearing from you - keep the good things going!

    Kind regards,
    Pamela

    Kind regards,

    Hi Rosanne,

    first of all apologies for my silence - I could give a number of excuses, but I won't. So, please just accept my apologies, and the promise that I will try and be more responsive in the future..
    I'm still be in London until end of the month, but will then go back to Japan for 2 weeks (lived there until mid last year) for private purposes. I'm back in London from June16th onwards.
    This said -
    I'll start to write a profile article on you and the project.
    I guess as I go on, I'll post questions to you, in a virtual interview style. Alternatively, if you have an e-mail address ... mine is pamela dot ravasio at gmail dot com.
    Again - apologies for not coming back to you any earlier ~
    Pamela
