Dear Paulo,
Is that what it is? For the children with Cancer and depression? with the Logo Warrior of the Light?
Can I talk to you about that Please?
I would like to know if I am on the right track.
I will be arriving in Paris on the 16th of this month.
Is it possible for us to meet the next day please?
Love
Marie-Christine

Thanks Asif.

I have no problem with raising money for the kids, no problems with t-shirts with quotations from Paulo, but I feel very queezy about links with a fashion chain and all what they stand for.

Read The Winner Stands Alone, Paulo says it all!

That other Spanish fashion chain Prada has recently been exposed for exploitation of garment workers in Turkey. I can only hope better conditions prevail for those that supply Mango.

The free publicity Mango are getting out of this, would far exceed the ‘profits’ donating.

Is the Paulo Coelho who has launched a range of clothes in partnership with a fashion chain, the same Paulo Coelho who wrote The Winner Stands Alone, a savage indictment of the fashion industry? I am no follower of fashion, though I have no problem with people being stylishly dressed, following their own free will. What I hate is people being manipulated by the fashionistas. The t-shirt looks good. I have though some questions. The cause is good, to raise money for Instituto Paulo Coelho, of that I have no doubt. Of what are the t-shirts made? Is it organic cotton? Industrial cotton is one of the most environmentally damaging crops that Man grows. Organic cotton is much pleasanter to wear. Organic cotton is biodegradable and can easily be recycled. Are the t-shirts fair trade? It would be the ultimatum irony if a critic of fashion, links with a fashion chain to raise money to help street kids and the clothes come out of a a sweatshop employing child labour. Who will wear these t-shirts? Will it be fans of Paulo Coelho, readers of his blog or a wider public? Do I now chat to people wearing Paulo Coelho t-shirts? My intro to Paulo Coelho was meeting a very attractive girl sat reading The Zahir outside a pub by the river in Guildford. We got chatting as I was curious as what had her so engrossed. The tables were turned a few weeks later when I was in Brighton sat outside Iydea, one of my favourite eating places, and my reading matter became a topic of conversation. [see Synchronicity and Paulo Coelho] City of God is well worth watching, even better watch Favela Rising, but a word of warning, it is very violent. I saw Favela Rising at the BeyondTV International Film Festival 2006, Cannes it is not. We were warned of the violent nature of the film. Sufficiently impressed I later went out and bought the film. Favela Rising is the story of the work AfroReggae do with the street kids in the favelas of Rio. Thelma mentions Mango has a shop in Cyprus. Where? Nicosia, Paphos, Limmasol, Larnaca, Protaras? The High Street in Guildford has a lot of trendy fashion shops, but I cannot recall ever seeing a Mango, though I must admit, I only frequent the bookshops and Ben's Records, so I probably would not have noticed even if there was one. Is a t-shirt bearing meaningful words from a critic of the fashion industry the ultimate chic? Synchronicity: I wrote these thoughts last night. In the post this morning came news from Labour Behind the Label of their Clean Clothes Campaign and their report Cashing In. Labour Behind the Label works to improve the conditions of garment workers worldwide by raising awareness of their conditions. Companies shamed: supermarket chain Tesco, supermarket chain Asda, cheap clothing chain Primark, fashion chain Prada.

Paulo…
Muchas felicidades por el proyecto, me parece una idea muy buena…sobre todo en estos tiempos en que la gente es muy individualista, es una buena manera de ayudar y de retribuir lo que la vida nos ha entregado…..
Felicidades….

DE VERDAD ES DIGNO DE IMITAR, SI NUESTROS PRESIDENTES DE CADA PAÍS TUVIERAN ESOS SENTIMIENTOS Y ESA SABIDURÍA EN EL MUNDO TODOS SERIAMOS IGUALES, NO HABRÍAN RICOS NI POBRES OJALÁ NO DESCANSE EN DEJARNOS ESAS ENSEÑANZAS SIN LIMITES.

GRACIAS POR SUS SABIOS LIBROS.

Me parece grandioso que este proyecto contribuya a beneficio de los chiquitines que tanto necesitan.
Paulo, me encanta la idea ya que tus palabras seran causa de mucha retrospeccion de aquel que no lee un libro, pero le impacta el mensaje de una camisa. Lo mejor… sere parte de ello. Exito!!!

It’s a very good idea! And it’s also inspiring. I can already imagine walking with that kind of a shirt on with a positive sentence/saying on it, and making maybe someone smile – if they read it. :)

So – in Estonia too, please. I will get in line. :D

Love,

It is a wonderful thing you are doing, Paulo and Christina. Generally I do not like marketing – the way the market consumes everything – Paulo’s sayings included – and spits it back at us in “for profit” packages. This, however, is an exception. Even if you want to put your face on a box of cereal or a can of Coca Cola I will buy it to support this cause.

Many thanks!
Savita
