I had coffee last week with Steve Siewert one of the team members with Javarelief.com. I was very impressed as they are doing good work in Haiti - just take a minute to watch the video on their website and BUY THEIR COFFEE. I brewed it this weekend and it is very good - even for a coffee snob like me! But do it to support these people in Haiti who are going through very challenging times!
