Crossing Communities brings together diverse communities from around the world in order to enhance each group's world knowledge, cultural intelligence, compassion and well being. Our inspiration is the reality of the challenge of being able to relate and understand people living in different cultures. The founders of Crossing Communities experience this first hand, as Hirut is from Ethiopia and Al
yssa from Minnesota. Through many discussions (over coffee) they realized that coffee is a universal language, and this is how our organization started. The need for compassion and justice in impoverished areas of the world where people lack access to education, health care and health education and economic stability. From our personal travels and enjoyment of diverse coffee, we have come to see coffee as a way to connect ANYONE From around the world. Your purchase of Crossing Communities coffee will offer a tangible way to build relationships with people from diverse cultures in impoverished areas of the world and to raise support to build a community center for those people.
