Welcome to the Coffee Kids Blog

Welcome to the new Coffee Kids Web site and welcome to our blog. Don’t worry, you are in the right place. We’ve just ordered things a bit differently. We are still dedicated to improving the lives of coffee-farming families; we’re just hoping this will help us reach out more effectively.

First off, special thanks go to Bare Feet Studios, GreenMountain Coffee Roasters, and The Coffeee Exchange for their support to get this new site off the ground.

We’re excited about the new features here. As you can see, our blog is up and running and we hope we can share important news with you with greater frequency. We’ll be posting links to important articles and research, important office announcements, recaps of our most recent trips, more information in Spanish and important news from our members.

We have a new feature in our You Can Help section. Instead of a straight listing of members, we’ve organized everything into a searchable database. Of course you can click to see all of our dedicated supporters, but you can also find a member near you and let them know how much you appreciate their support of Coffee Kids. There is also space for members to promote special Coffee Kids promotions and fundraisers. Contact us if you have anything special planned.

Our Education page is new and currently has a presentation and an educational map of where we work. It will eventually house lesson plans and a Coffee Kids curriculum that teachers can use with their students.

Thanks for stopping by the new page and feel free to root around and see what else is new. And if you have any questions or can’t find something you need, please let us know by email or by calling 505-820-1443.
