It has arrived!

Cafe Yungas Update

The Bolivian coffee beans arrived at our roaster in New York a couple weeks ago and have been roasted and packaged. The shipment to Baltimore went out on Friday, December 4th and will arrive in a few days. Orders for about 30 bags have been placed so far, so place your orders soon and tell your friends!

Here are a few photos of the coffee being grown and processed, courtesy of the Cafe Yungas team in Bolivia:

Impact: Camp El Puente

Greg Hurst and his family have been missionaries with Serving in Mission in La Paz, Bolivia for the last ten years. Forecasts project that by 2012, 75% of Bolivians will be less than 25 years of age. To help deliver the gospel to the youth of La Paz, Greg is spearheading an effort to build cabins and a camp as a jungle retreat center for Christian groups in La Paz. A portion of the proceeds from Cafe Yungas are being used to help build this camp, and once it's built, to support leadership development of the next generation of Bolivian Christian leaders.



The amenities are basic, but provide an opportunity to escape the pressures and struggles of everyday life in the city that most Bolivian kids never get to experience. Many high school and middle school students in the US have these opportunities for lifechanging trips, but your support of Cafe Yungas can help make the same impact in a place that lacks our resources.
