Valley View Elementary School in Menomonee Falls Wisconsin had a very meaningful coffee fundraiser. As I spoke at a PTA meeting, I shared with the parents and teachers what a coffee farmer has to endure to pick a coffee bean. I don't think any of us realize how much work it truly is to pick that tiny little bean and then to receive a fair wage is also challenging. My partners Outreach Int, takes such great care of the coffee farmers in Singida region as well as the Kilimanjaro region. They have a coop of farmers that choose only the BEST beans and prepare them for shipment to a roasting plant in Des Moines Iowa. Here the beans are met by some challenged young men who pick, sort, roast and bag these beans. Already, we have helped dozens of people who normally would not have means to income. On top of all that, Valley View was able to sell the wonderful AA Direct Trade coffee and earn some income too to help support the many great programs that our children here would normally not get to have. It is a win-win for so many!!
I would be happy to help your school, church, corporation or service club explore the coffee fundraiser!!! Together we can help so many who have so much less. Email me with any questions you might have: simplehope1@gmail.com.
Blessings to everyone who visited my post today.
Until next time ~
Cheers!!
