Happy Holidays from Education in Action

The board at Education in Action would like to wish you a happy holiday season and thank you for your continued support and solidarity with Guatemala’s campesino coffee farmers this year.

We would like to remind supporters that there is still time to contribute to our donation drive. We hope to surpass our target of $2,000. Please consider providing a contribution, which goes directly towards supporting education, housing and cooperative initiatives that improve the conditions of campesino communities in the rural Highlands of Guatemala. We greatly appreciate all the donations received so far! You can donate by via e-Transfer to "Education in Action" at eiacafejusticia@gmail.com or by mailing a cheque payable to Education in Action, 45 Washington Ave, Ottawa ON K1L 6S7.

Education in Action had a challenging year in 2023. Our main fundraising event at the New Art Festival was unable to go ahead as planned and increased transport costs have substantially impacted our capacity to deliver great affordable coffee to our supporters while generating sufficient relief funds. This is why your donations are so important!

For the first time since the Covid-19 outbreak, Leocadio Juracan, the Agrarian Reform Coordinator of the Campesino Committee of the Highlands (CCDA), conducted a tour of eastern Canada to raise awareness about the deteriorating human rights situation and political repression of Guatemala’s rural Indigenous population. In Ottawa, Mr. Juracan met with federal politicians and departmental officials as well as coffee roasteries as part of their campaign to build support and improve the plight of campesinos suffering continued violations. Please read the following article for more information on Mr. Juracan’s visit to Canada: https://nbmediacoop.org/2023/10/19/a-former-exile-in-canada-returns-to-speak-on-mayan-resistance-as-guatemala-takes-to-the-streetsfor-democracy/

We have just finished the last roasting of Café Justicia for 2023 and plan on having another in late January 2024!

If you want to get directly involved with Education in Action, to promote the sale of coffee by word of mouth or just to learn more about our activities, we would love to speak with you!

Once again have a happy holiday season and thank you for your continued solidarity and support.
