A failed employment project for village women in Bangladesh: a Canadian volunteer's craving for crisps: a slice of Black Forest cake at the Dhaka Sheraton these and other seemingly unrelated events form the beginnings of Sally Ann. The Salvation Army's emerging global fair trade venture. The Sally Ann story is about people. Many of them live in poverty in the slums, in the brothels and in the villages of Bangladesh. It's a story which reminds us that poverty is more than statistics. It is personal. This is poverty given a face by people who challenge us with their own individual stories of suffering and daily struggle Sally Ann is a gospel-response to the poor. It is about putting bread on people's table. It is about empowerment and self-help. And it is a reminder of what Christians do when the world's poor ask for help. The Salvation Army has never shied away from the poor - the movement emerged as a response to the questions of the poor in Victorian England.
