My mother always had coffee, and I helped her harvest. We planted more to earn more money. My family lived in the colony La Estrella. We’re six brothers and sisters and we live with my mother. My father left us. I’m 14 years, the oldest. I study in high school near town and my three little brothers study in the school in the colony, two hours away on foot. The two little ones stay with my mother. She works in the field every day, weeding, harvesting, gathering firewood to cook. When we are on vacation from school, we help with the harvest. We have money to eat and go to school thanks to the coffee that we have. The technicians from FECAFEB visited us one day when we were drying coffee and the told us about the Cup of Excellence competition. I told my mother that I would participate, and she supported me. We are very happy. As winner and producer of excellence coffee. With the money that we make from coffee we want to improve the house where we live and a buy few tools that are missing and improve our coffee plantation. Buyers should buy our coffee. We handle it well and they won’t regret it. It will help us a lot.
