It is unreal that Ron Rivera is no longer with us. At Fair Trade Original we know him as a consultant working with potters all over the world. His interest for people and for their work was enormous. He made friends easily and always left a lasting impression.
He helped the potters to develop them, to improve their products and raise their living standard in many countries such as Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, India, Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Tanzania.
Everything he did, he did wholeheartedly. Always listening, never judging, finding solutions together with the people he worked with.
We at Fair Trade Original and all the potters he worked with on our behalf will miss his smile, his passion, his friendship.
But we will try to live and work in his spirit to continue the good work he did.
Peace.
