In the bustling world of commerce, where businesses often compete solely on the basis of profit, there shines a beacon of hope and altruism. It's the story of Leisure Premium Colombian Verde Libre Coffee—a tale of love, dedication, and a commitment to making the world a better place, one cup at a time.

In 2015, John and Aida, the compassionate owners of Furniture Leisure, embarked on a journey that would change not only their lives but also the lives of many children in need. During their visit to Colombia, they encountered Walter and Yanxia, a couple devoted to caring for orphan children. Inspired by the couple's tireless efforts, John and Aida stepped in to support them in establishing what is now known as Verde Libre Coffee in 2016.

What started as a modest venture with 1,000 plants has blossomed into a thriving farm boasting 12,000 plants over seven fruitful years. This expansion hasn't just meant growth in coffee production but has also translated into tangible support for 20-30 children under the care of Fundación Pacto Belen. Each coffee bean harvested at Verde Libre Coffee symbolizes a ray of hope for these children, with every sip of our coffee contributing to their welfare.

But our commitment to making a difference doesn't end there. With each purchase of Leisure Premium Colombian Verde Libre Coffee, you become a part of this noble cause. Available in both ground and whole bean varieties, packed in convenient 1-pound bags, every package carries within it the promise of a better future for these children.

Beyond its philanthropic mission, Leisure Premium Colombian Verde Libre Coffee stands tall on its own merits. Sourced from the rich soils of La Vega Cundinamarca, Colombia, our beans are meticulously harvested and expertly roasted to perfection. The result? A medium roast blend that's as smooth as it is flavorful.

So, join us in our mission to foster positive change and support communities, one bag of Leisure Premium Colombian Verde Libre Coffee at a time. Together, let's savor the flavor of generosity and make a meaningful impact on the world. To learn more about Fundación Pacto Belen and the incredible work they do, visit their Facebook page here.

Playgrounds are an essential component of any school environment, providing children with a space to play, explore, and develop important skills. However, the question remains: should schools have more playground equipment? In this blog post, we will explore the reasons why schools should indeed invest in expanding their playground facilities. From promoting physical activity to fostering social interaction and supporting cognitive development, having a variety of playground equipment can have a multitude of benefits for students. Join us as we delve into the importance of playground equipment in schools and why it is crucial for the holistic development and well-being of our students.

Promotes Physical Activity:
Increasing the amount of playground equipment in schools encourages children to engage in physical activity. With obesity rates on the rise, having a variety of equipment can help students stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Enhances Motor Skills Development:
Playground equipment offers opportunities for children to develop and refine their motor skills. From climbing and swinging to balancing and sliding, these activities help children improve their coordination, balance, and overall physical abilities.

Fosters Social Interaction:
More playground equipment means more space for children to play together. It provides an environment where students can interact, collaborate, and build friendships. Through play, children learn important social skills such as sharing, taking turns, and resolving conflicts.

Boosts Cognitive Development:
Playgrounds with diverse equipment stimulate children's cognitive abilities. They can engage in imaginative play, problem-solving, and critical thinking. By navigating through different play structures, children enhance their spatial awareness, creativity, and cognitive flexibility.

Supports Emotional Well-being:
 Playgrounds offer an outlet for children to release energy, reduce stress, and have fun. Increased access to playground equipment can contribute to students' emotional well-being by providing a positive and enjoyable environment. It can also help alleviate anxiety and improve focus in the classroom. We also offer ADA-compliant playground equipment so that all can enjoy it.

In conclusion, schools should ideally have more playground equipment because it promotes physical activity, enhances motor skills development, fosters social interaction, boosts cognitive development, and supports emotional well-being. By investing in and expanding playground facilities, we prioritize the holistic development and well-being of our students.
