Buy Coffee for Orphans
I love coffee. If you've ever looked into my fridge here in Mexico - you'd laugh and question me immediately about the number of full sized liquid coffee creamer bottles I have stock piled from the states. You can't buy liquid coffee creamer here in Mexico (only powder) - so I have quite the collection of coffee mate and international delight treasures from whenever any B2B staffer goes to Texas they buy me 4 or 5 at a time. So I got to thinking...
MOST OF US JUST LOOOOVE COFFEE....
so i'd like to pass along this awesome not for profit that sells fair trade, organic, shade grown coffee from around the world and uses 100% of the profits to fund projects for orphans worldwide.
I was introduced to this organization while at the Summit of the Orphan a few weeks ago. I drank several cups of this coffee personally for days and it’s good stuff.
I even decided that since my mom loves fair trade coffee and refuses to buy coffee that could make a community poorer while some CEO makes a ton of money, that some gobena.org coffee was a great Mother’s Day present.
Check them out at http://gobena.org
They sell coffee from Columbia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ground or hole bean, expresso, decaf or regular. They have gift sets with mugs and Tshirts if you want. And they have large order subscription deals for businesses or churches if you wanted to buy a ton of coffee at once for a little bit cheaper of a price.

Summit of the Orphan VI
About a week ago, I had the opportunity to fly to Minnesota to attend The Summit of the Orphan VI which is put on by The Christian Alliance for the Orphan. There were over 1,300 people in attendance from all over the U.S. and also from ministries that do global orphan care like what Back2Back does. I've been meaning to blog about this for a while and you can expect many a blog post about this conference in the near future.
