Hi Jane,

I have been following your blog for a while now. Your postings have enlightened me about fair trade policies. Based on your comment on my blog, I also had an opportunity to highlight the work of your partners in Chennai.

Just wanted to say ‘Thanks!’ and keep up the wonderful work you do.

Thanks,
Adarsh.
