Orphanage

[Draft copy, pending client confirmation] Once a week, the team packs up the van and heads over to cook a meal together with the kids. Not drop off food and leave: sit down, eat, stay for a while.

[Draft copy, pending client confirmation] After the plates are cleared, the team walks the kids through a simple cupping, the same tasting process used to evaluate the coffee, scaled down to small hands and shorter attention spans. It turns out kids have strong opinions about which cup smells like chocolate and which one smells like burnt toast, and they are rarely shy about sharing them.

[Draft copy, pending client confirmation] This isn't a one-off visit or a holiday drop-in. It's the same team, back again next month, and the month after that: a standing relationship built into the calendar, not an occasional act of charity.
