This is such a cool place to buy your next Christmas present or future gifts for friends. My Mom brewed a cup of this coffee for me today and I loved it, but didn't know their was a great story behind it also.
La Mai is an organic, fairly traded coffee that is bringing hope to the people of northern Thailand. Farmers who once grew opium poppies and were central to the drug trade, now grow high quality coffee beans instead. International charity Bright Hope World pays above Fair Trade prices for these beans giving the farmers a living wage.
AND
Girls as young as 10 years old are being sold into the sex trade often by their parents. Bright Hope World and their partners help rescue these girls educating them for a better future while working with families of even younger girls so they never get involved. Operating in 35 countries through relief, development, micro-enterprise and income generation
Bright Hope World is changing the lives of the poorest of the poor.
Its not to late to get before Christmas, you just have to know the right people and my Mom does, so send me an e-mail if you are interested.
Merry Christmas !!
