a book to read!!

2008-10-30T11:08:00.007-04:00

slowly everything is making sense and floating to the surface, the cord problems that cause the global economic melt down and the questions of the value of our social system has come to an open discussion!! (i am so glad we talk about more...)...Obama was questioned of "distribution of wealth"!! but clearly people are missing the points!!... the crisis is that the earth planet is coming to a point where the environment, economic prosperity, human rights conditions are not balanced. everything is connected in the world we live in ... how do we make choices in our lives today to make a difference? this book is brilliant!! it explained everything i was looking for: visioning a world of harmony. we can do it!!

what is Ethical Fashion?

2008-08-23T21:12:00.000-04:00

Ethical fashion means fashion which takes into consideration the people behind the clothes we wear, and the moral principles behind the process of how clothes are made.
a j n a strives to promote global fair trade and ensure that farmers and artisans throughout the developing world receive a fair price for their product, that communities are healthy and the environment is preserved. we believe to lift poverty of poor country is by trading, we believe to provide skill and technical training so that they can catch up with the developed country's way of working and we could help to reshape the global economy system that works for people and the planet.
a j n a has always fascinated with world civilizations and archaeological finds and it is the thread which links our inspiration and aspiration through time and place. it is the learning and understanding of indigenous artisan’s living; their ancient wisdom, their art and craft, and the vivid culture of the oldest civilizations could be the greatest solution to the world's problem; as a whole we find a path to progress through these criteria,
*lifting poverty by trading with underdeveloped country.
*support and establish technical skill training programme.
*locally sourced raw material for manufacturing.
*environmental communities project to preserve nature.
*using organic and recycled fibers.
*enforce working conditions and labour standards.
*participate charitable projects.
