Wake Up to a Good Cause
What’s one of the first things that makes you feel good in the morning? If you are like many of us over here at GLXi, it’s that first steaming hot cup of coffee!
Now, imagine with every sip that you are not only helping your body and mind wake up, but also contributing to a larger social cause. Imagine you are delivering a wake up call to the world, helping a new generation of kids find future success and empowerment through literacy.
Well, guess what?!?!
We have partnered with an AMAZING coffee company that can give people exactly that kind of warm feeling.
Java Planet Organic Coffee Roasters not only produces and sells great-tasting Guatemalan grown coffee. They also are a socially-conscious company that walks the walk — in their founders’ words, they grow 100 % organic coffee that supports “a healthy body, a healthy planet and one that ensures the coffee growers are compensated fairly for their green coffee beans.”
Delivering a Wake Up Call
Java Planet’s Guatemala coffee, which is one of their best sellers, is low acid, Fair Trade & Smithsonian Bird Friendly. They also carry coffee mugs handmade by Guatemalan ceramic artisans.
And here’s the thing. They are not just about doing good within their own company. They have also been active in supporting other companies and organizations that align with their passion to help Guatemala grow as a country.
GLXi’s partnership with Java Planet is a perfect example.
Java Planet has an option on their shopping cart allowing customers to donate to GLXi with each purchase. Not only that, but they have also shared a bit of our mission on their website (https://jporganiccoffee.com/pages/glxi) AND have been spreading the word on social media.
Here’s one thing they said which we found really powerful: “As you are reading this, it is probably hard to imagine the person who grows your coffee barely knows how to read, and their children may never have the opportunity to learn.
Educating this generation of Guatemalan children will empower them to create positive change and create economic growth in their own country.
While we want Guatemala to continue to grow great tasting coffee so we can roast it, we also want to see these children become nurses, engineers, teachers, and the other important professions that can bring their country into a golden age.”
Thank You, Java Planet!
We are beyond grateful to Java Planet, and inspired by the way they do business. If you are as well, we encourage you to check out their website and get some of that great-tasting coffee with an extra dash of love for literacy!
