I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from Alex Schmidt from Valy Export Madagascar mid April.
I invited him and his wife Marie Louise for lunch to learn more about their fair trade business.
During the visit I politely asked if the couple would like to participate in an interview, they agreed.
Although, a little camera shy I hope the interviews below provide consumers with an insight about their fairtrade activities and information about their products and future plans.

Acne does not define you!
For those struggling with acne please be kind to yourself, find your tribe and those who love you and help you to achieve your dreams and ambitions.
This blog is an honest review of the Facetheory Acne Range tried and tested November 2020 to present.
This month I continued to heal from surgery and
ordered acne products from a vegan, paraben and cruelty free company called Facetheory, located Sheffield, UK.
2015 was an exciting time in my life as I worked to complete my first professional website.
With my friend and talented Creative Director Helen Barlow Scott, we worked diligently to design The Little Fair Trade Stamps which would be included in the launch of The Little Fair Trade Shop website Quarter 1, 2016.
In this blog I explain what each stamp means and introduce you to a fairtrade producer who has aligned their business to implement and promote a living wage, decent working conditions, transparency and accountability, empowerment, environmental sustainability, dignity and self respect for all.
