Having served for almost 20 years in the Army I have had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world where poverty is out of control. Most recently I was in Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005 and even though that was 6 years ago you can never forget the state of the poverty there. While there I was a security team leader for the reconstruction effort so I saw the conditions everyday. The most rewarding missions we would run were the toy drops at the orphanage or the missions to delivery school supplies to the different schools we had built around the city. It's amazing to think that the problem is so bad that there places where the majority of children can't afford pencils and paper.
Even more amazing is the good attitude many of these children keep. We would do a lot of missions to the United Nations complex in Kandahar and there was this one little fella who had a bit of a hobble, and over the year I was there I would see this boy weekly. Over my year in Kandahar he and I became friends and he trained me so well that when we had missions going to the United Nations area I would always take a Pepsi along for him. He even knew me by name and would hobble over to my vehicle and say " Sergeant Mulnix you bring me Pepsi?" What does this have to do with coffee? Just the other day one of my old Kandahar buddies was having coffee with me and he asked me how I got started with Healthy coffee International. So I told the story of finding the company on the Internet and going through there website and what cauht my eye was their Giving Back program. Here it is straight from the website.
