Several weeks ago, I finally sent the 10% share in the net profit of the coffee sales to our coffee farming partner, Auntie Juliet. As part of the commitment of Kapi de Lin-awa, the coffee is paid as soon as the coffee is delivered or even earlier. Aside from the agreed price that feels fair to the farmers, Kapi de Lin-awa also shares the net profit to the farmer in order to ensure equitable income. To do this requires transparency.
This post is not for patting the back. It is for accountability. When I was starting Kapi de Lin-awa, I made this commitment. Hold us accountable especially when the money gets more. Demand us of this commitment to keep us from drifting from our mission.
"Achi ta pun fukuchan tan kawis." The direct translation is "do not hoard all the branches." It means to share what is good and not keep it all to ourselves. This is the indigenous that Kapi de Lin-awa would like to practice. This is a practical manifestation of indigenization.
