Please join us for a night of film, presentation, music, Q&A and coffee!
We'll start off the evening with a terrific documentary, "Delicious Peace Grows in a Ugandan Coffee Bean," where you will learn about J.J's amazing coffee coop and how the Christians, Muslims and Jews in his community work together in peace.
Living in the wake of the Idi Amin reign of terror and institutional discrimination, one Ugandan coffee farmer organized a group of Christian, Muslim and Jewish neighbors to challenge historical, economic and environmental hurdles. He formed the 'Delicious Peace Coffee Cooperative' to enhance peaceful relationships and economic development. Partnering with a Fair Trade US distributor, the standard of living of the farmers is improving and their messages of peace and fair wages are spreading to coffee customers in North America. Following this documentary, please join us in welcoming to Ottawa, J.J. Keki, the leader of the Abayudaya Jewish community from Uganda. And, then please join us for some Ugandan coffee at a private reception.
