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.

This is my message for World Fair Trade Day 2023.

السلام علیکم،
میرا نام سبینہ ہے۔
یہ ورلڈ فیئر ٹریڈ کے لیے میرا پیغام ہے۔
This month I continued to heal from my shoulder procedure (January 2022) and am learning to live with pain in my right shoulder.
I participated in Fairtrade Ethical Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 and tried to post a fairtrade product in English and Urdu every fast.
It was my 11th consecutive year supporting and participating in the Six Items Challenge 2023 with Labour Behind The Label.
Ramadan and Eid Mubarak to all my friends, family and fairtrade producers around the world!
This is my blog summarising my effort to support fairtrade producers and artisans during the blessed month of Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023.
This year my right shoulder has been very painful and prevented me from creating vlogs and blogs about Fair Trade in Islam.
On a positive note I tried to post a fair trade product every day during Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr 2023 with translations in English and Urdu.
Apologies in advance for any errors in the Urdu translation.
یہ میرا بلاگ ہے جو رمضان کے بابرکت مہینے میں فیئر ٹریڈ پروڈیوسروں اور دستکاروں کی مدد کرنے کی میری کوششوں کا خلاصہ کرتا ہے۔
اس سال میرے داہنے کندھے میں بہت تکلیف ہوئی اور اس نے مجھے اسلام میں فیئر ٹریڈ کے بارے میں بلاگ اور بلاگ بنانے سے روک دیا۔
اردو ترجمہ میں غلطیوں کے لیے پیشگی معذرت۔
