hey, i thought this is how capital grows in the first place ...  how
about asking people on the ground, what kind of support they may need,
instead of dreaming the dream of dreams: fair competition on fair
markets. since 200 years people believe in this concept and still we
dont have that fairness - nowhere on the globe (0,1% fair trade!!!). if
there is something to achieve then its cooperation and democratisation
of economy (i am talking about cooperatives and alike, not of
state-control) ...
so does anybody have a request for support from SA?

cheers, marco (berlin)
