Support Global Experiences with Coffee!
Attention COFFEE Lovers!
(and friends of coffee lovers)
Buy a bag of coffee to support Global Experiences at Mohawk College and direct-trade coffee farmers in Guatemala!
This academic year, 8 faculty and staff members from Mohawk College will be travelling to Guatemala for a 9-day cultural experience (February 2024) through the Centre for Teaching & Learning Innovation and Operation Groundwell. Staff will participate in the Seed to Shelf program, travelling to three of the world’s most famous coffee growing regions and getting to know local farmers for whom coffee is a way of life. They will also stay with local Indigenous communities to learn about the history and legacy of colonialism, and what decolonization looks like from the Guatemalan and Mayan perspectives. Leading up the experience, staff will participate in training about organizing and facilitating global experiences with students, and intercultural development. Part of this training involves fundraising, and this is where you come in!
Granito’s Coffees originate from many of the locations that we will be visiting on the trip including Santa Anita La Union (Café Revolucion), San Juan La Laguna (Café La Voz and Café La Nariz) and San Miguel Escobar (Café Volcanes). Granito coffee comes directly from family members who are dedicated to producing shade-grown organic coffee.
Your funds will support a community of sustainable coffee farmers in Guatemala. More info on Granito Coffee: https://granitocoffee.com/pages/learn
