Hi Gijs,
My name is catherine and I am from the UK but spend most of my time in Kerala. I work with organic cotton products and dye them using very special natural and ayurvedic dye with no chemical mordents. I am hoping to meet with Satish Chukkapalli from Zameen in the next couple of weeks as I would really liked to use organic cotton from this farming group which I find out you set up.....great work. Also came across chetna a few years ago. Who is the best person to contact there? What are you currently working on at Auroville? look forward to your feedback
Best Wishes

Thankyou
Hello dear i saw your profile here in this site so i feel like contacting you for a relationship so if you think it’s cool you can reply me with my email ’'jennajenna30@yahoo.com’'bye hopping to hear from you soonest.
I am really interested in your company- I am just launching my own ethical accessories label (selection of images on my page) out of Calcutta, using an IFAT & Indian and Asian Fair Trade Forum member manufacturer.
I would love to use organic cotton, especially sourced direct from the farmers, for my bags but have struggled to find a viable source.
I had some introductory meetings with suppliers, but am lead to believe that there are issues with certifying cotton organic once it has left the producer... can't believe there isn't a way round it but in any case would love to hear your views (as this is not something I know much about) with a view to perhaps putting you in touch with my manufacturer to discuss the possibility of supplying them if things look promising.
Look forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Naomi
