Gobena Coffee
/I love me some coffee. I'm now french pressing my coffee on a daily basis and starting my days on the couch reading and sipping hot coffee. But I've found a new way to enjoy coffee and change the world - Gobena Coffee.
I randomly found this organization/company only later to discover they are from the super small Midwestern town that my entire extended family is from. Amazing how God works!!
Here's their story:
In the summer of 2007, we traveled to Ethiopia to adopt our little girl, Eva. When we were there, the contrast in cultures was amazing. Most Ethiopians were not wealthy, but were rich in their sense of community and closeness of their relationships.
Gobena, was 71 years old, when he found a baby girl placed in the yard near his home. "Because she is God's soul," Gobena and his wife, Mulunesh, took care of the baby girl for 20 days. Then they placed her for adoption to be in a family who can take care of her long-term. This little girl is now a permanent part of our family. She is truly a blessing from God, and always will be a reminder that there is always hope, as long as there are people who care enough.
Their sense of community and caring for others has inspired us to start this ministry where 100% of the net profits are reinvested in the lives of orphan children throughout the world. Each time you purchase a bag of coffee, you are providing hope and life to children who do not have parents caring for them.
So, invite some friends over for some coffee and feel good about the fact you're making a difference by choosing Gobena Coffee.
In addition to experiencing the finest and freshest coffee, with each order placed, you are helping children throughout the world. 100% of the profits are being reinvested in the lives of orphan children through charity programs.
