Donate $5 per picture and then email me (tom@projecthopeandfairness.org) what pictures you want and I will send them back to you. Thank you in advance for donating cocoa farming tools to West African cocoa farmers by purchasing a picture.

Or, a yummy way to help the West African cocoa farmer is to purchase chocolate from my company, Sweet Earth Organic Chocolates. Or, visit Splash Cafe, my sister's restaurant. Splash Cafe and its sister business, Splash Cafe Artisan Bakery donate at least $2500 every summer to Project Hope and Fairness and makes my trips possible.

Chemicals sold at the Agrimat warehouse in Accra, Ghana, 2009. We purchase boots and cutlasses there, and sit in the upstairs office--near the shelves of chemicals. Note the one labeled "Paraquat". Sound familiar?

Imidacloprid is thought to be a cause of colony collapse disorder, leading to the massive dieoff of honeybees in Europe and North America. It is obviously being used in the cocoa industry. Sold at Agrimat in Accra, Ghana, 2009.
