You just know that we are having a positive impact in origin when the principal and three students open up their school in the middle of summer vacation so that they could greet us, show off the improvements to their school, and thank us directly for being such a great company and contributing to the well being of their school and town. The principal spoke with such passion for her school and her students, and was so grateful for the new lunch room that recent funding provided for the school. She mentioned that when the price of coffee is good, the school does well as they rely soley on the Terrazu Cooperative and the money they make from selling us our coffee for their programming. It was so touching to have her apologize (more than once) that the school was closed, and that she could not show off all of the wonderful things going on at her school. She made sure to invite us back during the school year so she could have us see the quality of education her students are receiving. I think I just may have to take her up on that!
