Oaxaca, Mex. Blog#7....I'm Home Now...For Me That's Oregon....
I've been home (Oregon) now for near 2+ weeks. As I reflect on the trip I took with COFFEE KIDS and their gracious team of teachers and mentors, one would have to be blind not to see the tenacious committment this group has for the coffee farmer and their families.
To be very honest the job COFFEE KIDS has taken on is overwhelming! The drive and courage this organization has should be applauded daily. This is a pretty humble group of folks and they make a big difference for the future of the families that care for the coffee we count on, one small coffee village at a time.
The word SUSTAINABILITY.........What does it really mean? I've seen it being used as a tool like a hammer driving home a marketing platform for companies, whether the company really believes in it or not. I've seen it spoken as flippantly as a sailor would use curse words in a bar, by politically correct groups. I think if you're part of the IN crowd it has to do with the environment...GREEN...or how about...ORGANIC. Maybe it's about all these things!
I believe SUSTAINABILITY means life! I also believe with all my heart that this is what COFFEE KIDS is all about....a sustainable way of life for the coffee farmer and their families.
So, please join me! And give generously to COFFEE KIDS!
