I did my usual shopping at the local market this afternoon, and I decided to make my own Starbucks coffee at home. We were going to make some homemade ice cream, and I just had a taste for a really good, hot cup of java.

I swung my cart to the aisle that had coffees, teas, creamers, juices, spices, sugar, Splenda and a vast assortment of baked goods. This was a good day to shop. Most people must have cleaned the store out the day before since I had to get a manager to bring me a bag of onions from the back. Oh yes...back to the coffee.

I chose one of my favorite Starbuck's coffees, "Caffe Verona Bold". Out of the corner of my eye, I spied an amber bottle. This reminded me of Starbucks when I asked for a shot of hazelnut in my coffee, so I took a look. Sure enough, This was called "DaVinci Courmet Hazelnut Syrup". I chose it and placed it in my cart. At home, I made a pot of coffee and put some of this in my cup. Pretty good! This was a superb addition to my coffee.

I was reading the bottle in my kitchen and saw the words COFFEE KIDS. I was intrigued, so I read on. Coffee Kids is a non-profit organization that was designed to improve families and children of families who live in coffee growing countries around the world.

I went to DaVinci Gourmet's website, and found out they are Coffee Kids' largest sponsor. They also have approximately 67 different flavored syrups that can be ordered on-line. Hey! I can get Coconut Classic or Caramel Pecan and have it delivered to my door? Count me in!

Coffee lovers everywhere... You can have a great cup of coffee and also help the coffee-farming families and children.

This money is used for community improvements, low-interest loans, scholarships, and micro-enterprise. Through this project women and their families have generated additional income for their homes, gained personal confidence and have learned about diversification and investment strategies to better face the dependency on the coffee harvest.

Enjoy your coffee! The antioxidants are good for you, but that is for another article...I'm off to get another bowl of ice cream and get a cup of Caffe' Verona with Davinci's Gourmet Hazelnut Syrup .
