My daughter, Stephanie Watsek, was involved in helping organize the "fair trade throwdown". She spoke so highly of One Mango Tree and your support of their program. I ordered several bags from your website and plan on placing many more orders in the future. The difference you're making in the lives of these women in Uganda is inspiring!! Thank you for all that you're doing in Uganda and here in Ohio. Pam Watsek
