Promoting Fair Trade and the Trade Justice Movement

Acknowledgements

I would first like to thank my knight in shining armor, Janos, for always being there for me and helping me through all of the hard times. Thank you for all of the neck rubs,going with me to the doctor, putting my computer in line, keeping a smile on my face and making me deliriously happy. You are my angel.
Thank you to my family, especially to my mom, for all of those long distance phone calls that always made me feel so much better. All of my successes   are shared with you guys as they stem from you.
To William Ang’awa, one of my mentors, thank you for always making me smile and shake my head in amazement. You have been wonderful in making a very bad incidence easier to go through. You are one of the most creative people that I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
Thank you to all of my family and friends abroad. And especially to John in the U.K.
Your support has gotten me through this year. Knowing that there are people like you in the world makes me so happy to be alive.
