Coffee Tasting

Hey everyone-

Just wanted to tell about the coffee tasting that took place today. There was an amazing turnout! We sold out of coffee in about 35 minutes. Which means we have almost $400 (including donations) to send back to Nicaragua for the Nemagon victims!!! People were very inquisitive, and took flyers about the former DOLE employees and said they would spread the word.

its not fair

As I was adjusting the temperature of my shower this morning, it struck me, what a luxury it is to, at the turn of your hand, control how much hot water comes out of this medal waterfall attached to my tiled closet that we call a shower. More than half of the world takes bucket showers, or don’t even have access to, what I would consider, clean water. When I got out of my privileged hot shower it suddenly dawn upon me, just in this bathroom alone I have so much comfort, a toilet that I can flush the toilet paper down, a sink, a mirror, medicine cabinet with medicine, lotion, a tooth brush with a holder, soap also with a holder, a rug to keep my feet warm and floor dry and a thermostat to control the temperature. As I dry my self off I look in the mirror and see myself, a human part of the race, and wonder why I have all these things and someone else doesn’t.
