Doing Good With Coffee
December 23, 2008 11:32 am BlogHey all you coffee lovers out there, check this out. Looking for a great last minute gift idea?
Recently I learned about a local coffee shop within the Walton on the Chattahoochee River Community in Atlanta. At this coffee shop, now open to the public, you can buy specially bagged coffee from the Land of a Thousand Hills in Rwanda. Every bean of this fine coffee is individually hand plucked at the moment of ripeness by Rwandan farmers and packaged for market in a truly healing environment because those working together today, were waring enemies not too long ago, now joined in reconciliation community projects for the good of all.
By purchasing a bag of this delicious brew, you are not only supporting their peaceful endeavors, but also assuring that these farmers are paid a living wage and that $1 is invested in a micro-finance program designed to help genocide widows become entreprenuers in their own communities. You can find out more at this website - www.DrinkCoffeeDoGood.com
I’ve been very impressed with Walton Communities for thinking outside the box with the offerings that they have for their residents such as financial educational classes, singles and childrens activites, and even reimbursements for attending community cultural events. They are rather unique and if you are looking for somewhere to move during or after your divorce, I highly recommend you check them out in your search for a great place to live.
