Tsachopen, Perú – October 5, 2023 – Our devotion to the cycle of life extends beyond the coffee bean; it reaches into the heart of the communities that nurture our prized harvests. Sunrise Trading, a company specializing in ecological, shade-grown Peruvian coffee, proudly looks back on a significant moment: the donation of vital medical supplies to the Posta de Salud (health post) serving the Yanesha Comunidad Nativa Tsachopen.

This remote indigenous community, nestled deep in the Peruvian rainforest, is a wellspring of ancient wisdom and sustainable practices. The contribution, made possible by our friends, family, and the invaluable partnership of Project C.U.R.E., embodies our deep commitment to the well-being of the Yanesha people.

The Cycle of Care in Action

Our CEO, Andrew Shook, personally presented the donation to a group of inspiring community leaders: Samuel Gonzales Espiritu, Elizabeth Ballesteros, Gloria Lale, and Patricia Westreicher.

"This donation reflects our devotion to nurturing the health and vitality of the Yanesha people, who are the custodians of this precious land," Shook stated.

The donated supplies will substantially bolster the health post's capacity to provide essential medical care to the approximately 500 members of the community, for whom the post is a critical lifeline.

A Powerful Gift of Hope

On behalf of the community, Samuel Gonzales Espiritu expressed his deep gratitude: "These medical supplies represent a powerful gift of hope and healing. We are deeply thankful to Sunrise Trading, Project C.U.R.E., and everyone who contributed to making this possible.”

This act of giving underscores our core values: sustainable practices, direct relationships built on trust, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of the rainforest ecosystems and the communities that call them home. From our base in Atlanta, GA, we are proud to be a part of this positive cycle of support.
