The bank and DEM Collective

Yesterday Lina and I went to meet Marja, our bank contact.

We discussed The Fair Tailor for over an hour an she likes our project.

She will now talk to her colleagues at the bank and with ALMI, things might actually go our way.

Yesterday we had a breakfast meeting with Annika at DEM Collective. I have written about DEM in earlier posts and I'm impressed by their work, we can learn a lot from them. They have their own factory in Sri Lanka and they are hard core about ecological and Fair Trade issues. Annika had for example a plastic bag filled with buttons for the next three months production. She buys the buttons in Borås, Sweden, and then she brings them when she goes to Sri Lanka. Impressive.

Readers from all over the world

I think it's really neat to be able to see visitor stats from the blog.
The visitor number is growing constantly and I'm glad that so many persons find an interest in what is happening to The Fair Tailor.
Since I started writing in mid March people from 31 different countries have read the blog. I like that people from e.g. Qatar, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka and Japan are reading the blog.
