Carolyln – warm thanks for writing about Chido. I met her this past spring when she visited Equator in Marin. She’s truly an inspiration! And the coffee is exceptionally good. Kudos on the FoodGal blog. You know I’m a loyal reader. Warmest,H

Hiya — I work with Equator on the Chido project, and just want to thank Carolyn and everyone here for your support. I’ve been working in organics and sustainable food issues for many years, and this has been one of the most inspirational projects I’ve worked on. Chido herself came to meet with the folks at Equator, and I had the pleasure of meeting her, too. Very humble, yet powerful individual. Chido has written her autobiography – it’s a rough story of a remarkable person. The book, which costs about $10, is published by ZERI (which Carolyn mentioned in her story), and all money from sales of the book support Chido’s work on the ground in Zimbabwe. You can find it at http://www.EquaotorCoffees.com/Chido. Also, for those of you on Facebook, if you become a ‘fan’ of Equator (www.facebook.com/EquatorCoffees) you can now purchase Chido’s Blend directly on Facebook (very new software enabling a shopping cart within Facebook). Warmest regards, and thanks again for your support (and the coffee is truly delicious // Michael Straus (Michael@StrausCom.com)
