Lake Champlain Chocolates released a new line of bars called their Restorative Moments Collection.

“We all need a moment to recharge, relax, and just be… what better way to unwind than with gourmet dark chocolate! The new Restorative Moments Collection™ embraces moments of chocolate bliss and preserves clean waterways for environmental sustainability. With each bite of these candy bars, including 6 new flavors, you can enjoy high-quality chocolate and feel good knowing you support the preservation of restorative places in nature. “

A week from now I am so thrilled to embark on another trip with non-profit Food 4 Farmers, traveling to Mexico + Guatemala! Food 4 Farmers works in coffee communities to find constructive solutions to seasonal hunger for coffee farmers and their families. In 2013 I traveled to Nicaragua with co-founder Marcela Pino and was able to document and learn about their work with coffee co-op SOPPEXCCA, and see the beginning stages of their program. This time I’ll be entering a later step in the process, visiting communities in Mexico + Guatemala that have been working with Food 4 Farmers for several years, and will be able to observe some of the ways this has impacted their daily lives. 

Over the past few months I’ve been experimenting with videography and really enjoying the process. I decided to dedicate a little time to developing this skill while I was in Culebra, PR and record some of my experience.
