Steve’s Nigeria Trip - Day 5

Today was a relaxing day here in Otampa. We started out at the Education Center site to do a 4 minute video for Mama Maggie and Stephen’s Children in regards to thanking them and inviting them to come to the Center (Background: Stephen’s Children, the organization we help support in Cairo, donated money to help build an educational center in Nigeria).

Then we went to the market and took pictures. After coming home, we were able to interview two families about the impact the educational center would have on the village. They both had a very positive response.

The village people then viewed all viewed all the pictures I had taken and they loved it!

Tomorrow at 6 A.M. we will be leaving for Jos.

    Hi Steve. I met you on the shuttle from the parking lot to the airport in Philadelphia. It’s fascinating to be able to learn about the good you’re doing in Africa. Keep up the good work! May God be with you. His nearness is your strength.

Featured Coffee

El Salvador Cup of Excellence (1lb) / $13.50

Cup of Excellence is a program that works to bring together the best coffee to the consumer while bringing profit to the growers. This years #1 coffee went for over $20 a pound, and that’s before roasting! What happens is the growers select the best field or crop of coffee and bring it to the auction cupping in the Host country. This year’s cup of excellence auction was for El Salvador. We were able to sample 24 lots of amazing coffees and picked out what we perceived to be the best lot so that we could bring this exceptional coffee to you. It is amazingly fruity in the cup with bright lemony flavors, but also a subtle mango flavor as well.  It was very rich and very smooth, with a bit of a roasted almond flavor.  You won’t want to miss this, as it is a limited offering.  When it is gone, it is gone.  Enjoy!
