Great analogy! Hits on several points made in the @CRSCoffeelands series on innovative solutions at origin- the need to seek out diverse solutions and “exits” from the current market to achieve profitability

.Houston Chronicle OpEd on how low coffee prices are driving farmers to take the difficult decision to migrate, written by my colleague paul hicks and I. #RecoBoston2019 @CRSCoffeelands houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

"These migrants do not want to leave," McQuillan says. "Parents do not want to leave their kids. Husbands do not want to leave their wives, or their town, or farm, and go to a new country where they can't speak the language and aren't even legal." usnews.com/news/best-coun… U.S. News & World Report

Powerful testimony by my CRS colleague on our ability to do better. We care for refugee children in Uganda. It’s really not that hard to do it with decency. ⁦The Washington Post⁩ washingtonpost.com/outlook/we-car…

Very cool initiative going on in Ahuachapán! Great coffee produced on a farm investing in land restoration to protect soil and water resources.

A few months ago, Trump froze foreign aid to #Guatemala. Now, as NGOs fire staff and shutter offices, people like Carlos Marroquín are being left behind. New NPR Goats & Soda NPR npr.org/sections/goats…

Brilliant insight and commentary on how a “Trump first” America came to be built, historical precedents are woven throughout the essay, highlighting the allure and danger of collaboration.

The 30 year wait is over, so many years of disappointment as a child growing up supporting this team, finally, Champions. #YNWA
