I am so proud of this team and the AMPLIFi program. Please take a moment to watch their story on Sudanese coffee culture.
Our AMPLIFi team reminds us that a love for coffee is something we share across cultures, across oceans.
Even when the world feels dark, sitting with friends and sharing a cup of coffee can bring us all a sense of joy and peace.
