The generosity and hospitality of our hosts made this a wonderful visit. I recommend it to anyone interested in local ethnic communities.

I was deeply moved by a way of life that takes only what is needed and draws so much of its food, clothing and shelter from the village surroundings.

I learned how difficult coffee growing can be, and learned just as much from seeing the villagers live with freedom and happiness.

Seeing homes, cooking and gathering food up close taught us about the practical wisdom of living with nature.

I felt gentleness and kindness in the village. It reminded me that richness can come from the heart, beyond earning money.

Experiencing everyday life and culture and getting to know the villagers like relatives was especially memorable.
