Adventure

望着飞机窗外, cascading, vibrant mountains covered in brilliant green forestry rose above the white, animated clouds. The sight was breath taking and offered the grandest welcome I have ever received. 最重要的是，冒险才刚刚开始. We were greeted at the airport with typical Guatemalan hospitality, “Buenos Tardes! Bienviendo a Guatemala!翻译过来就是下午好，欢迎来到危地马拉! The 12 of us, 10名荣誉学生和2名荣誉校友, 然后被拖进一辆小型货车，在拥挤的城市道路上疾驶，最终通往圣米格尔·埃斯科瓦尔, 这个小镇距离危地马拉城一小时车程.
圣米格尔埃斯科瓦尔是一个小的农业社区，位于多山和火山的山谷中. 圣米格尔埃斯科瓦尔不仅拥有一些最美丽的景色, 还有德拉琴特的位置, 我们这周合作的非营利组织. De La Gente, 翻译过来就是“来自人民？,” works with a cooperative of coffee farmers and offers “opportunity in every bean.” They ensure the fair trading of coffee amongst the farming community, 提供财务资源和产品的全球运输, as well as the opportunity to educate the outside world of what it takes to go from bean to cup. 我们的第一个机会就是去体验!
这是我们8天探险的第一天, 我们在当地农民的咖啡田里开始了我们的早晨，就像危地马拉农民每天所做的那样. A typical day of the farmer starts between 4 and 6am and ends at 3pm with a small break for lunch. By the end of this day, a typical farmer can pick 100 plus pounds of beans. We started much later than the typical farmer, and we did not exactly reach the quota. We were given a basket that the farmers generally use to hold the picked beans. 农民们通常在半小时内把篮子装满. 我们大多数的篮子还没有装满一半, but collectively we filled one basket and were able to process it just like the farmers. Picking the beans was followed by placing them in a processor to pull the beans from the “cherry” casing. The beans then were placed on a drying bed and would be dried for about 3 weeks. We then had the opportunity to grind, brew, and taste coffee along with the farmers.
在这一周剩下的时间里，我们将有机会与农民并肩工作，共同开展有利于他们咖啡生产的项目. 我们主要和咖啡合作社的总裁合作, Timo, and under his direction we were able to build a rainwater collection tank. 我们用煤渣砖和水泥建造的水箱将使该地区的许多农民受益，因为他们不必从农场所在的陡峭火山上拖上几加仑的水，就可以给咖啡作物浇水. 农民们通常要步行两个小时才能到达农场, often times carrying their crops down the hill after their work day is over. 在我们和提莫一起研究火山的时候, 农民背上驮着庄稼，沿着崎岖的地形往回走，这并不罕见. 因为我们时间紧迫, we got to take a safari-type truck ride up the one lane dirt path to reach our worksite.
我们的雨水收集罐大约花了2天的时间才完成, and the following day we built 10 drying beds for a farmer in the cooperative. 还是在提莫的指挥下, we were able to build what the farmer would use to dry his coffee beans out of 4 by 4 boards, black fabric, and tubing. With the new drying beds, the farmer would no longer be required to dry his coffee beans on his roof. 如果没有咖啡社区的人，我们在那里完成的服务是不可能的. De La Gente确保那些花时间为农民服务的人不是在为他们工作, but with them. 确保社区和团队支持的意识将得到落实，以便使各方都感到受到重视. Hence, 我们完成的服务更多是为了学习农民的生活方式，以便对一杯咖啡的工作获得更高的尊重.
而我们的旅途却满是咖啡, we also had the opportunity to explore and better come to embrace the beautiful country of Guatemala. 我们游览了历史名城安提瓜, 参观古老的玛雅仪式场地, 在阿提特兰湖度过一个阳光明媚的下午, a beautiful, 火山环绕的蓝色湖泊. 这是我们能遇到的危地马拉最珍贵的地方, however, had to be the numerous community members that offered us places at their tables. Every night we were welcomed into the home of a farmer for a delicious, 危地马拉传统晚餐. 我们能够听到农民的故事, meet their families, 感觉好像我们是他们社区的一部分. 试图做玉米饼, 克服语言障碍，尝试新食物, 我们遇到的每个人都鼓励我们像他们一样享受他们美丽的国家和文化. 在2000多英里之外的地方却感觉像在家里，这很奇怪.
Working with De La Gente in Guatemala offered so many new experiences, as well as new perspective on what it means to be a conscious consumer. 就在我们起飞前, 我们的导游罗纳德给我们留下了鼓舞人心的话，告诉我们在改变世界之前，我们必须先改变自己. 他说，我们是为现在而带来改变的, 我们需要意识到我们所做的选择, more importantly, 我们的决定如何影响他人. Being a conscious consumer is the first step to being aware of the impact that we are leaving. 购买商品和服务的公平贸易, 了解你的产品来自哪里, and what the companies you are purchasing from are supporting will not only impact you, 甚至会影响到我在危地马拉结交的许多新朋友. 做一个有意识的消费者可能意味着多花几美元, but what you will be supporting cannot be limited to a monetary value. 通过意识到我们的决定，我们可以带来改变. 这种改变可以从购买一杯公平贸易咖啡的简单行为开始，因为我知道一些了不起的农民会感谢你的.
