Acacia Village has broken ground!! This is CWF's largest humanitarian project to date. This new facility will house all the orphans from Tess's children's home. In addition, they are building a medical center, caretaker housing and family housing for adoptive parents, a school and a pregancy center. It will be home to 250 orphans. Jeff and I have hosted a fundraiser and also hosted the director, Louis, and the founders Bob and Tomilee for dinner. We are so moved to help with this amazing project that will care for the children who otherwise have no one. And so...we're now selling coffee...
It is believed that coffee originated in Ethiopia. They have a coffee ceremony that is practiced daily. We had some of the best coffee ever in Addis Ababa. We learned of a family that adopted a little girl from Ethiopia that had been cared for by a 71 year old man named GOBENA that found this little girl on his doorstep. They were so moved by the sense of love and community in Ethiopia that they began to import Ethiopian coffee to help create sustainable work and also donate all proceeds to supporting orphans. Jeff and I are selling their coffee to raise money for Acacia Village (acaciavillage.org) I'm having a house party on April 29th and Tess will be helping to sell Ethiopian coffee to help ethiopian orphans!! She is excited to be helping the other children still in Ethiopia!

Love the idea. Just want to confirm if the coffee is fair trade before I let people know about it?
