As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, Austin, Texas is coffee-crazy. The city has a bewildering array of coffee houses in almost every neighborhood, and the only real difficulty is in deciding which one you want to try. Well, suppose that you could, by enjoying good coffee, help struggling people in a developing country? The fact is, you can, if you get your coffee from
Dominican Joe at the corner of South Congress and Riverside. Unlike most coffee bars, Dominican Joe is affiliated with an Austin-based non-profit called
Makarios, which provides education, vitamins, hot meals and clean drinking water for the impoverished children of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. When you buy a cup of coffee, or pounds of coffee to take home, you help to change the lives of children (and their parents). So you can enjoy your coffee, and feel good about what you’re doing for others at the same time. That’s a win-win in my book.
