咖啡社企影子實習 Work Shadowing Road Trip

Paxxioneer 的心度遊歷隊今天跟著老撾咖啡社企創辦人Sam，穿州過省上山區村落，體驗當地社區經濟發展工作。
Participants of Paxxioneer’s learning experience in Laos go on a road trip through the hilly provinces with Sam Say, founder of a local social enterprise in coffee.

為了尋訪優質咖啡種植者，Sam和他的同事們經常走訪老撾偏遠山區，考察咖啡農民種植情況，並與他們商討合理收購價錢，教授農民提升咖啡豆質素的方法。
Sam and his team often look for local coffee farmers with quality coffee beans, and discuss with them reasonable prices and improvements on coffee plantation. The road trip is an eye opener to rural and agricultural development of Laos, and sets the tone for coffee experiences in the next few days.

Sam親手建立的咖啡社企，目的是幫助老撾咖啡農脫貧。Paxxioneer心度遊歷隊探訪他其中一個長期合作的當地農民，了解他們一家的生活狀況。
Sam runs this coffee social enterprise to improve the livelihood of coffee farmers in Laos. Paxxioneer’s learning experience group is more than happy to visit one of the farmers here.

咖啡農Phone的一家雖然並不富裕，但十分願意接待遠方來的朋友，坦誠的交流由此展開！
Austerity doesn’t stop Phone and his family from treating guests well. We are grateful for this candid cultural and social exchange. Friendship flourishes!


Phone親自為我們沖調咖啡；他用的咖啡磨是美國製造的古董！
