Natalie posted some of Oscar Romero's writings and they are worth reading at this time. It made me think of Pura Vida and their work in Costa Rica. We found them through Sojourners and have bought a few pounds of their Fair Trade coffee. They make a difference in people's lives. They reduce environmental destruction and help those coffee farmers actually profit from their labor. Their mission statement says it all: "To create good by using capitalism to empower producers, motivate consumers, inspire business leaders, and ultimately serve the poor. We believe in a different approach to business. One driven by good than greed."
Indeed. If you are looking for some hope in this world, there are many good people out there doing good work. Order some coffee or just send them a little money.
