The perks of coffee and community
Africa is widely considered the birthplace of coffee, and that beloved brew is now helping seed new growth in the East African country of Mozambique. The country just joined the International Coffee Organization, and its rising status in the coffee world is in part thanks to the Gorongosa Coffee Project. Founded in 2013, the project began with the aim of reforesting Gorongosa National Park, a 1,500-square-mile area in the center of the country.
Through the project, residents in the park were incen-tivized to grow coffee and taught how to cultivate and harvest the crop in their fields.
They were also given indigenous tree seedlings to plant alongside the crop, offering shade and windbreak to the coffee, while also helping to reforest the park.
The project started with only 10 families but has now grown to about 1,000 working as farmers, roasters, pickers and tasters. Read the whole story here.

It might be the turquoise that shows the danger, is it. GREat collage again, Jacki!
Thank you Elenor.I had to go back to see the turquoise as I didn't remember it. I did a kind of nice collage, then made it darker and darker, like death?
I said to myself “This is a dark one.” Then I read the title. Oh, now I understand. :-)
Thanks, John. Yes it is dark. I acttually started with a colorful collage and kept adding till it felt like death?=
