Ben and Chef Tom are making their way from Abidjan to Depa (near Issia, Cote d'Ivoire) where most of the work of Project Hope and Fairness has been taking place. Along the way they passed through Yamoussoukro, location of the Presidential Palace and the Basilica Notre Dame de la Paix. They encountered this lively group of children during a stop for supplies. They were quite enamored with their American visitors!
The majority of their trip will be spent in and near Depa, meeting with authorities regarding direct export of crops grown in this area to the U.S. and the E.U. Project Hope & Fairness has constructed the Depa Chocolate Factory (along with a rice hulling facility), which produces disks and bars. If cocoa farmers make their own chocolate and sell it locally, they stand to make more than 50% of the retail price, whereas selling cocoa to middlemen, including Fair Trade cooperatives, only earns them 14% of the retail price (assuming a 70% chocolate bar). The long-term goal is to construct chocolate factories in 7 Villages, enabling farmers to sell their bars directly to the consumer through retail stores.
A few of the new friends Ben met along the way today weren't quite as friendly as the children! The journey continues tomorrow...
Find the cheapest business class tickets knowing how airlines charge differently in different routes and seasons. These tickets will be able to provide a high level of comfort, plenty of space and better on board services at lower prices. Flexible travel dates, pre-research knowledge of fare changes are significant in the process of finding business class alternatives at reduced prices.
Some carriers use their geographical position to subsidize high-end travel prices, namely those that are located in Turkey, Portugal, and Iceland. These airlines are able to pass passengers through hubs, such as Istanbul or Reykjavik, and provide much lower prices than their direct competitors.
In 2025, TAP Air Portugal will always be the cheapest airline to fly business class across the Atlantic using a Lisbon stopover program to cut the cost. This hub-and-spoke efficiency enables them to offer low fares on point-to-point flights and high quality services on long-haul routes.
I was genuinely impressed by the mrs claus winter coat collection at North American Jacket. The coat has a timeless holiday-inspired look while still feeling modern and wearable. The material quality is excellent, and it provides great warmth without feeling heavy. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to embrace festive style with sophistication. A perfect winter coat that stands out while staying elegant and comfortable.
