Our family has lived in East Africa for 6.5 years now and have spent all of those Christmas seasons away from family. This year, however, we are heading to Michigan for 3.5 weeks to soak up as much family and Michigan winter as we can! This is outside of our normal fundraising, so we've had to figure out a way to pay for our tickets.
COFFEE SALE!
As we did last summer, we will be selling coffee and bringing it with us when we come to Grand Rapids. We will arrive in Grand Rapids either December 20th or 21st, so in plenty of time to pick up your coffee, wrap it up and give it as an ethical, delicious, helpful gift!! You will be able to pick it up from my parents house in SE GR on the 21st or 22nd. There will be NO delivery as we want to spend time with family and not drive around town to deliver! :)
These are the coffee companies we work with:

We will have 250g bags of medium and medium dark and 500g bags of medium, medium-dark and special dark roast.
GIVE CLEAN WATER!
That's not all though! Our church here is working with the hospital across the street from us to install 7-8 water filters throughout the hospital. The filters will filter 300L of water an hour. Imagine a labor and delivery hospital with no clean water - for washing hands, for drinking, for cleaning. Imagine the gift of clean water to a vulnerable population!
FOR EVERY BAG OF COFFEE WE SELL, WE WILL GIVE $1.00 TO THE WATER FILTER PROJECT!
We would love your support in getting us home for the holidays AND give clean water in Rwanda!
Online ordering will happen around Thanksgiving, but keep this gift idea in mind as you think about your Christmas shopping!
Also, if you'd like to help with our airline tickets without or in addition to buying coffee, you can give through PayPal: gretchendriesenga@gmail.com
