into the hands of those… who are already wealthy"

By: Julius K Nyerere

By: Philip Yancey

In regard to 'charity' given by Starbucks in lieu of fair trade prices he said:- "If we are paid a (coffee) price which is decent, the people can make the bridge on their own… We don't have to always be beggars."

By: Tadesse Meskela (head of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Union, Ethiopia)
