Me at the Swiss Business Council Christmas Market, Abu Dhabi
This December I received an email from Dr Sara Calvo, Professor at the Middlesex University to say I had won 3rd place in the International Social Innovation Challenge 2016 organised by the Middlesex University Business School.
Many congratulations and best wishes to the other winners Ms Palma Milicevic and Ms Emma Butler for their social enterprise ideas. I have attached my video submission for The Little Fair Trade Shop below for those who are interested.
Could I also praise everyone who entered the challenge, your ideas were inspirational and I am grateful to everyone for their support.
From the 7-10 December I participated at the Swiss Business Council Christmas Market, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Engel, Ms Maager and the entire Swiss Business Council team for their wonderful professionalism and support. Many thanks to both Ms Engel and Ms Maager for asking about my asthma and health during the event.
Thank you Annie and Helen for designing and printing my beautiful silk banner and sign. It looked gorgeous.

Thank you to all the wonderful customers and new friends for supporting The Little Fair Trade Shop and all the amazing fairtrade producers around the world.
I finally created my World Pulse profile to raise awareness for fairtrade and ethical producers and ethical consumerism in the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.

As we end this year I would like to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2017.

میری بہن نے مجھے عظیم دماغی صحت کے دن کے بارے میں ویبینرز کے لنکس بھیجے جو 26 جنوری 2024 کو ہوا تھا۔
میں ان تمام مہمان مقررین اور ٹرینرز کا مشکور ہوں جنہوں نے اپنے مصروف شیڈول میں سے وقت نکال کر خودکشی کی روک تھام، سوگ اور اپنی شاعری لکھنے کے بارے میں بات کی۔
