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.

Coffee grown in Cote d'Ivoire is one of their four most important exports. Like cocoa, it tends to be grown helter-skelter, a few trees here and there. The variety grown is Robusta. Much of it ends up in Nescafe, which makes a convenient breakfast beverage all over the tropical world.
