Sorting coffee berries

I'm in Burundi helping an organization called Food for the Hungry.
They have started two co-op washing stations for local coffee farmers
to give these people a chance at sustainable living. I'm here to cup
the coffe (looking for the exceptional lots), guidance to the project,
and find ways to increase quality. It is an amaizing opportunity and
a real eye opener to the poorest of the poor in Africa.

Burundi

No pictures yet.  But it is amazing.  A breathtaking scene of beauty.  Burundi is a place to love.

These are a few of my thoughts on Burundi after being here a week.  I have been here as a guest and consultant for two coffee farming/washing station cooperatives in rural Burundi.  FH Burundi invited me to see this unique initiative to holistically reach some of the poorest people in the world.

Internet time is a premium, so I will share pictures and stories aplenty when I return to Kristy and the USA on Sat.

What am I doing back in Africa?

I've been asking myself that question for the last hour as I sit in
Nairobi airport coffee shop on rout to Burundi. What I know is that
as Kristy and I had been praying thus past year we new there would be
some change. Is this change? Not realy, but it is a big trip! So pray
with us as we continue to see where God leads and how we will best
live out our adventure.
