On Saturday May 13 2017, Matti FONCHA from the Cameroon Boyo project will come to Brussels to thank you personally. The idea is to come together (with the KissKiss Bankers) at Greenbizz.Brussels (at the roastery) having a beer, wine or espresso while listening to Matti. Some rewards that I owe you will also be distributed during the event.         Without knowing it while picking the date for this celebration, May 13 is the World Fair Trade Day! What else? <img alt="World-fair-trade-day-2017-agent-for-change-banner-1490342416" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/406164/World-Fair-Trade-Day-2017-Agent-for-Change-Banner-1490342416.png" />

Completely blind tasting without any information about the coffees. Only info they had: It's naturally grown coffee without chemicals.   Guess who was the ultimate winner without any discussion? ... ... ...   Yes you're right. Cameroon Boyo from the Kikfuini village has been chosen as the champion!   THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING  THIS PROJECT! YOU ARE AWESOME! AND I'AM LUCKY TO BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU!   This is the last sprint for letting this campaign succeed... 2 weeks to convince the coffee drinkers this is the RIGHT choice!

Furthermore I met passionate people who wants to start a collaborative trade model between Brussels and Colombian coffee farmers. Seems like the Cameroon Boyo Project will have a little sister...   And somebody gave me the tip to visit "Le Vieux Mila"  in Saint-Gilles, a Cameroonian Restaurant. I didn't know his existence...   It was a productive day!   THANKS FOR BELIEVING IN THIS PROJECT AND MAKING IT HAPPEN!

And I have to congratulate Aurélien en Hannah with their "Roots" project. Can't wait to see this project rolling out in Brussels, especially for their good coffee :)   <img alt="Screenshot_2017-01-25_at_21.21.17-1485375705" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/387141/Screenshot_2017-01-25_at_21.21.17-1485375705.png" />
