Fantastic work!
Sarah and Debbie, I have just spoken to Ken who expressed his appreciation for your visit and time spent with Rose. All the best for the rest of the trip.
Great work.
Fantastic to see the visit taking place and continued and ongoing commitment to developing co-operative relationships by Central Co-op. Congratulations to all involved - great work!
A great start and we can't wait to host Debbie in Thyolo for her to appreciate how the Central Coop's support is transforming lives of tea cooperatives through WASH interventions. Self Help Africa Malawi truly appreciate your unwavering support
love this - getting straight to the home of the partnership
Love seeing what great work your doing. Keep up the good work.
Congrats Dr Sarah!. Indeed it's great moments for COOP. It's the 2nd time that UN declaration of the Year of the Cooperative and 1st Year of the Cooperative declared by the UN in 2012. Good luck and Cooperative regards.. .
This indeed a very inspiring visit by the CEO Debby Robinson and Dr Sarah Alldred to be on the ground to first hand information of what is happening on the ground and to see the impact and difference the support is having. Cooperation among Cooperatives is the way to go as the mutual benefits are evident and long lasting. Cooperative is indeed a big happy and resilient family worldwide.
