cofffee season

Wow, what a week

For the first time in 6 years Growers First was able to provide micro-credit financing to the coffee farmers. This gives them some money to hire workers for the harvest, buy equipment or Donkeys... Asiclo immediately went and bought new chain saw blades to help make lumber for other farmers who are building.. The farmers and us are very excited about the new opportunities that are coming to fruition through hard work.... Yesterday in Pluma Hidalgo the road was closed so we got to watch some dynamite work up close, the sound was so loud I think my heart started beating irreguraly for a few minutes, so we turned around and made a very long, but scenic detour and stopped and talked to many coffee farmers which was great to here what was going on there.

Coffee harvest just went into full swing last week so everyone is out working hard!!!!!
