The best $20 I spent in three months just so happened to be
spent on...
Coffee!
Today I bought freshly roasted coffee beans to bring home
with me! There’s a local social enterprise, Wild Tracks, who buys coffee beans directly from 20-30 local farmers and then processes the coffee just down the hill from us.
Our plan was to buy coffee and leave but when we were
offered a hot cup of coffee and a brief tour, we couldn’t resist! They roast
and package all of their own coffee, which includes sewing the cute decorative
bags the coffee comes in. I don’t know why exactly we left feeling so happy,
but Ashley and I couldn’t stop smiling. Maybe
it was the delicious coffee!
Tomorrow is our last meeting with the traditional birth attendants. We're hopeful their experience using Misoprostol this past month has gone smoothly and they haven't had any major problems. I've realized recently just how many things we could have done differently to make No More Orphans even better. What's most important though is to remember that this is just the beginning and good will come from this program, no matter how small the difference.
XOXO,
Amanda
