Moving
On:
Coffee Kids, Partners
Making Real Change
By Mary Bellman
The coffee was all around as we
visited the Plaza Internacional de Café
near Tilarán, Costa Rica. The aroma of
roasted coffee wafted through the air as
the first bags of coffee to be exported
directly to the United States from Costa
Rica were being packed by hand.
Yet the representatives of COOCAFE,
a consortium of nine coffee cooperatives
in Costa Rica, were clearly thinking
far beyond coffee. As we watched the
coffee process, architects stopped by to
finalize the design for a coffee shop on
the shores of Lake Arenal and old dry
mill equipment was being dusted off in
preparation for a coffee museum.

And it’s not only happening at
COOCAFE; many of the organizations
Coffee Kids supports are well on their
way toward this kind of forward-thinking
sustainability.
In Mexico, our partner ICSUR has been
teaching people in the community how
to raise mushrooms. They add variety to
the local diet and provide families with a
locally raised cash crop they can sell.
After just two years of Coffee Kids help,
ICSUR has seen the mushroom project
take flight and no longer needs outside
support as sales have generated enough
funds for reinvestment and expansion.
Back in Costa Rica, the Rural Children’s
Education Foundation (FHC), a non-profit
In Costa Rica, the tourist boom is
fueling a serious challenge to traditional
ways of life. As land prices skyrocket
and opportunities grow in other
sectors, Costa Rican coffee farmers are
confronting a future in which coffee
may not be their primary source of
income.
Coffee Kids donors and staff witnessed
the changing dynamics on a trip to origin
in November 2007 (see page 8). We
also saw the creativity and enthusiasm
the farmers at COOCAFE are infusing
in the process as they blend coffee and
tourism to ensure their future.
COOCAFE is transforming this former coffee mill

coffee-related tourism in Costa Rica.

Women in ICSUR’s mushroom project
have made mushrooms work for them
providing a nutritious foodstuff for their
families and a profitable product to sell
in local markets.

MISSION
Coffee Kids helps coffee-farming families
improve the quality of their lives.
OBJECTIVES
To help coffee-farming families promote economic diversification so coffee is no longer the
sole source of family income.
Happy New Year! This is a time when
we reflect upon the past and look toward
the future. Maybe we even make a few
promises to ourselves, or to others.
As I look back on the past year, I find
myself drawn back to Oaxaca, Mexico,
where I spent a week in early December
with fellow staff visiting our partners in
the region. I’ve been to Oaxaca each of
my seven years with Coffee Kids and I
see something new each time.
Over the years, I’ve witnessed
our partner organization,
CAMPO, help families
implement an impressive
array of community projects,
from worm composting to
animal husbandry.
And then on this visit I witnessed
their eco-friendly training center under
construction (which your funding is
making possible) along with the myriad
demonstration projects used to teach
people from surrounding communities.
Then we met with staff, community
leaders and project participants. We heard
what CAMPO’s support has meant to
their communities and the improvements
in quality of life since they began working
with CAMPO. And I realized the true
breadth of CAMPO’s efforts.
To facilitate forums where local community
groups identify their most pressing problems
and implement their own long-term, sustainable
solutions.
To educate coffee consumers and businesses
about prevailing conditions in coffee-growing
communities and let them know how they can
help.
Coffee Kids

Santa Fe NM 87505

Looking at the progress, I see an
organization that has grown, solidified,
challenged itself and set an example for
the entire state of Oaxaca. An example of
what commitment, environmentalism and
human rights can mean for everyone.
And I see sustainability.
Whether it’s my first visit, the seventh or
even the 20th, I always learn something
new and I discover new promises to keep
since so many communities
need our support. Seeing
the work our partners
do compels a person to
maintain that commitment
to these communities.
I watched my staff light up
with inspiration and pride as they realized
that their hard work has a tangible impact
on real people and it reminded me of the
importance of Coffee Kids’ work. It
reminded me of the importance of giving
support to others.
And so I promise to return to Oaxaca,
I promise to maintain our commitment
to CAMPO, the communities they serve,
and all of our partners throughout the
coffee-farming world. But I need you
to help me keep that promise. I can’t do
it without my staff and we can’t do it
without your support.

Coffee Kids Coast-to-Coast
In November, Coffee Kids made the trek from
Montreal, Quebec, to Waterbury, Vt., to Seattle,
Wash., visiting supporters and sharing the progress
of our partners in Latin America.
Roaster’s Guild Raises Almost $15,000
The Roaster’s Guild of the Specialty Coffee Association of
America held their 7th Annual Retreat and Silent Auction
in August, and raised a record-breaking $14,738 for Coffee
Kids. The auction proceeds significantly surpassed the 2006
total of $8,609.
Bill Fishbein and Carolyn Fairman traveled to
Montreal to meet with our friends at Van Houtte, a
company that has been supporting Coffee Kids since
1999. Afterward it was down to Vermont to meet
with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. GMCR has
been with Coffee Kids since 1990 and we made a
presentation for employees and met their new CEO
Larry Blanford.
“The SCAA Roaster’s Guild
is thrilled about donating
the silent auction proceeds
to Coffee Kids,” said Geoff
Watts, SCAA Roasters Guild
executive council chair.
Later in the month, Fairman also traveled to visit
the impressive Starbucks facilities in Seattle where
she took part in a private cupping and gave a
presentation on Coffee Kids to a great group.
Al Liu of Alterra Coffee
Roasters, Milwaukee, Wis., was on hand to accept the check
for Coffee Kids.
Helen Bader Foundation Makes $13,800 Grant
Coffee Kids thanks each of these businesses for
believing in and supporting the coffee-farming
families we work with.
The Helen Bader Foundation, Inc., based in Milwaukee,
Wis., made a $13,800 grant to Coffee Kids to fund
the biodiesel program run by our partner STIAP in the
community of Nueva Alianza, Guatemala. The foundation
supports innovative projects and programs that advance the
well-being of people and promote successful relationships
with their families and communities.

Fresh From the Field
SOPPEXCCA
In September of 2007, Coffee Kids visited our partners
the Society of Small Producers for Coffee Export
(SOPPEXCCA) and the Organization of Northern
Coffee Cooperatives (CECOCAFEN) in Nicaragua. We
were accompanied by Clara Palma, the coordinator of
the women’s and children’s savings groups at AUGE,
our partner in Veracruz, Mexico.
Palma traveled with Coffee Kids to learn about the
Environmental Youth Movement and Coffee Children
projects at SOPPEXCCA and possibly implement similar
efforts at AUGE.
From the first introduction between Palma and William
Hernandez, coordinator of the groups at SOPPEXCCA,
the exchange quickly became a lengthy discussion of
experiences, anecdotes, questions and answers.
A group of participants in the Coffee Children project show
off notebooks and other school supplies that SOPPEXCCA
provided for them.
Marvin Raúl Talavera (right) showed Hernández and Palma
the cooperative cupping laboratory. Talavera received his
training through the Environmental Youth Movement and is
now employed by SOPPEXCCA as a cupper.
Children at Rubén Darío Elementary School in the
community of Las Cuchillas put on a play designed
to raise awareness of environmental issues. The play
illustrates how chemical products and trash can harm the
earth. The piece is part of the Coffee Children training.

William Hernández is the
project coordinator for
the Environmental Youth
Movement and Coffee
Children projects at
SOPPEXCCA in Jinotega,
Nicaragua.
In order to organize the
environmental youth group, we take advantage of
the membership assemblies, inviting parents of
young people to involve their kids in the daily life
of their cooperative.
CECOCAFEN
For example, some youth participate in
reforestation programs, literacy campaigns, or
cultural groups with music, dance or theater.
The youth participation takes different directions
based on their preferences, but it always relates
to their cooperative. They organize themselves
to implement their own initiatives, ideas, and
projects.

the board of the Women Saving in Solidarity Group (GMAS)
in the community of El Jicaro.
On the second half of our trip, Coffee Kids visited
our partner the Organization of Northern Coffee
Cooperatives (CECOCAFEN) to learn more about
the progress of their Groups of Women Saving in
Solidarity (GMAS) project.
At SOPPEXCCA we have two specific areas
where the youth support the organization. One of
these is the cuppers, who automatically become
part of the technical team at SOPPEXCCA.
This project is modeled on the successful savings
program that has been implemented by AUGE. Coffee
Kids staff visited with project participants from the
various GMAS groups that have been organized by
CECOCAFEN.
But we also have other youth who monitor the
coffee quality during the harvest and the wet
mill process. We call this part of the youth group
organic production internal inspectors, and they
follow up with the organic producers to make
sure they are complying with the established
organic production norms.
Some of those attending the meeetings had traveled
3-4 hours to attend. Participants shared their ideas and
thoughts regarding the savings program and shared with
us their successes and challenges.
These are the two sectors where the young
people are supporting the work of the cooperative.
In this way, these youth begin to learn about
cooperatives; it also gives them better tools to
become good members in the future.

director, receives a letter of recognition for Coffee

Staff Trip - USA-MEX ‘07
By Kyle Freund
USA>>MEX
Workers with Coffee Kids partner, CAMPO,
demonstrate the strength of a wall
section built using the environmentallyresponsible compacted earth technique.
In early December, Coffee Kids staff
visited Oaxaca, Mexico, to learn about
the projects supported by Coffee Kids
partner, CAMPO, and a dry mill run
by our partner, FomCafé. The trip
exposed Coffee Kids staff, most of
whom don’t have the chance to visit
our partners, with the opportunity to
see our work firsthand in the field.
The visit included a tour of CAMPO’s
new educational center. Buildings are
still under construction, but CAMPO
is already using the installations to
provide training to coffee farmers
from around the state of Oaxaca. The
center is being constructed using a
compacted earth technique, which is
similar to adobe with a mix of soil,
sand, lime and water optimized for
local conditions and compacted into a
sturdy wall.
The day after our visit to the center,
we traveled down winding roads
for four stomach-churning hours
to the small town of Santa Cruz
Tepetotutla located in the middle of a
globally important bio-reserve. Most
of the families work in coffee and
have struggled for years. Thanks to
CAMPO’s help, many have begun
working in other areas to supplement
their income and provide a better
quality of life for their families and
improve their community.

The organic coffee plot of Don
Raymundo Osorio was a striking
example of biodiversity and responsible
management. His tall coffee bushes
were ready for harvest and vanilla vines
crawled up their stems providing two
cash crops on the same shady plot.
Raymundo showed us the beginnings
of a greenhouse which will provide
vegetables year round, part of a project
the community is doing with CAMPO’s
support.
The following day we followed a steep
footpath straight down the mountain to
arrive at the neighboring community
of San Antonio del Barrio, still inaccessible by road. We met with a group
of women who, with CAMPO’s help,
have started selling their elaborate,
hand-embroidered huipiles (traditional
blouses) in Oaxaca City.
The next morning we toured a dry mill
recently purchased by four Oaxacan
coffee cooperatives to consolidate
and gain control over their production
process. They explained the detailed
steps of dry mill processing, and how
the four cooperatives purchased the mill.

Staff Viewpoint: Heather Ferraro
As the membership coordinator at Coffee Kids, I work
with donors out of our administrative office in Santa Fe.
I don’t often have the opportunity to see the projects we
support in action, or meet the participants face to face.
This was my second visit to Mexico, and my first time
visiting remote coffee-growing communities.
In the communities that we visited, we were quick to
notice the absence of women in the town meetings. They
generally attended only when specifically invited, and
they didn’t really serve on committees or participate in
discussions.
It was a strange feeling to attend meetings filled
with only men, especially since Coffee Kids staff is
mostly women, including a female executive director.
I wondered what the men thought about all of these
women in prominent leadership roles.
Women from San Antonio del Barrio show off their work on
traditional blouses or huipiles from their community.
I wondered if it makes them think about or question
the status of women in their own community, or do they
just think that modern American women are a strange
anomaly?
It was clear to me that there is work to be done to
empower women and create just, equitable gender
relations in these communities. Carolyn Fairman
explained that in other communities where we work,
there have been great strides in promoting gender
equity, especially where women’s savings groups have
promoted a sense of solidarity and empowerment.
But it’s a delicate balance, respecting current cultural
norms while also promoting human rights and civil
liberties. Change has to come from within a particular
community, and success is more likely when the men
participate and support the change.

were popular at every stop.

Cover Story: Moving On
(Continued from Page 1)
started by COOCAFE and longtime
Coffee Kids partner, is reducing their
dependence on outside funding sources.
Since 1997, FHC has been providing
scholarships for children of COOCAFE
members to attend secondary school
and access higher education through a
combination of grants and loans.
The organization is now working to
establish an endowment fund to leverage
a government-sponsored loan program
for which these students qualify. This
innovation makes efficient use of FHC
resources and will allow their scholarship
program to finance itself
At Coffee Kids, one of our main goals
is that the projects and organizations
we support become self-sustaining,
independent of coffee and Coffee
Kids. Nurturing organizational growth
also means that eventually our current
partners will no longer rely on us the
way they once had.
During our recent Coffee Kids staff trip
(see pages 6-7) to Oaxaca, Mexico, I
witnessed the work of our partner, Center
of Support for the Popular Movement of
Oaxaca (CAMPO), in the isolated village
of Santa Cruz Tepetotutla.
In a meeting with local leaders, César
Morales, executive director of CAMPO,
explained that the community had
achieved so many goals and proved
so adept at organizing that his staff
could teach them no more. He charged
community leaders with helping other
communities by sharing their successes
so CAMPO could focus their efforts
where they are most needed.
As I watched Morales talk to the leaders,
I saw a lot of parallels between CAMPO
and Coffee Kids. Like CAMPO, Coffee
Kids encourages its partners to diffuse
their knowledge so that even more people
can benefit and Coffee Kids can reach out
to help other communities.
As we embark on our 20th year of helping
coffee-farming families and watch as our
partners succeed, it is important that we
empower them to move forward without
our financial support.
César Morales (left) of CAMPO and
Don Raymundo Osorio of Santa Cruz
Tepetotutla explain the advances the
community has made.
And it appears many of our partners
are moving forward on their own, a sign
of real and long-lasting change.
Point-of-Origin Trip to Costa Rica Educates Visitors
By Mary Bellman
In November, Coffee Kids and several
guests visited The Rural Children’s
Education Foundation (FHC) in Costa
Rica for our first point-of-origin trip
open to the general public.
We rode through lush green mountain
passes, visiting three coffee cooperatives
and learning about the coffee process
and the scholarship program sponsored
by FHC and Coffee Kids.
At CoopeSarapiquí, we saw the wet
mill process and met with community
leaders. We also met with scholarship
recipients who are working to pay back
the loan portion of their scholarships
with service to their cooperative.
Our trip coincided with the end
of the rainy season and traveling
conditions were difficult over the
soggy terrain as we made our way
to Coopeldos. Student hosts gave
us a tour of their organic coffee
parcels and explained every step of
the coffee process. Then we planted
shade trees on a coffee parcel with
students at CoopeMonteverde.
Our experience on this first public
trip to origin was rewarding,
challenging, and inspiring, as we
witnessed the work of FHC in
action. It will also serve us well as
we plan for our next trip. Stay tuned
to our Web site for more information
as it becomes available!

Featured Donors
Davinci Gourmet Takes Coffee Kids to the Masses…
Wandering the streets of Oaxaca,
Mexico during our staff trip in
December, we ducked into a local
coffee shop for a quick cup. Perched on
the shelf behind the barista were bottles
of Davinci Gourmet syrups. And on
the back of each bottle was the Coffee
Kids logo with a brief description.
Since Davinci Gourmet, a division
of Kerry Group, became the largest
annual donor to Coffee Kids in 2006,
the Coffee Kids logo has become
ubiquitous in coffee shops, stores and
restaurants throughout North America.
As part of its commercial agreement
with Coffee Kids, Davinci Gourmet
acknowledges its support on all of its
syrup bottles and
packaging material,
and in all of its ads.
“Coffee Kids has
such a phenomenal
reputation in this
industry that it’s
an honor to be
able to show we’re
connected to it on
Coffee Kids. “They have really gone
above and beyond to ensure that they
are contributing to the health of the
industry.”
Davinci Gourmet syrups are
positioned as being created for
specialty coffee and as a result, they
see their commitment to coffee-farming
families as a natural investment in the
future of coffee.
every bottle,” said Kevin Kreutner,
senior director of marketing at Davinci
Gourmet.
Commercial agreements with Coffee
Kids ensure regular support for the
programs and extend a company’s
social responsibility. The agreements
are extremely flexible and can be based
on a percentage of total sales, or the
sales of a particular product or line. In
many cases, companies receive rights
to use the Coffee Kids logo on their
packaging and in promotional materials.
“Davinci Gourmet’s sponsorship is a
testament to their dedication to sociallyresponsible business practices,” said
Carolyn Fairman, executive director of
“From a business end, the continued
growth and success of our industry
is highly dependent on the coffee
farmer,” Kreutner said. “Anything that
helps them succeed helps ensure that
specialty coffee continues to flourish.
“And from a humanitarian perspective,
it is just the right thing to do. I’ve
experienced the extreme poverty in the
growing regions personally. It seems
wrong that we would have such huge
success… when those growing the
coffee may not be able to feed their
children.”
Memorial Auction raises funds for Coffee Kids
Koka Coffee Lounge in Cincinnati,
Ohio, hosted a silent auction on
Dec. 9 in memory of Matt Maxin, a
University of Cincinatti graduate who
was tragically killed in a car accident
in June.
Maxin was the boyfriend of Koka
Coffee Lounge employee Mandy
Kordal and had worked at a coffee
house in his hometown. Coffee Kids
was his favorite charity.
Maxin’s friends organized a silent
auction of 36 of his photographs as
well as other students’ donated artwork
to benefit Coffee Kids. The auction
raised over $1,200.
Coffee Kids is deeply honored to be
the beneficiary of this special event
and the Coffee Kids staff extend their
sympathy and condolences to Matt’s
family and friends.
“New York Art Parade” is one of

featured in a silent memorial auction
to benefit Coffee Kids.
