One Mango Tree: blogging for change.org

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started One Mango Tree. Since its inception, and particularly since I relocated to Uganda, a lot of young people have been reaching out to ask how I did it. For one year I'll be guest blogging at socialentrepreneurship.change.org, as part of a new feature called Entrepreneurs on the Verge. I'll be commenting on the ins and outs of running a fair trade business in Africa. Check out the posts so far:
