A cup of coffee is a good way for many people to start their day. It can also pass on kindness.
Manyang Kher used to be a Sudanese child refugee (难民). When he was three years old, his village was burnt in the war. He was separated from his parents and never saw them again. He became one of the 20, 000 young Sudanese who had to leave their home for Ethiopia's Gambella area. He lived there as a refugee for 13 years.
When he was 16, Kher went to the United States. While he was in college, he started a program to help the refugees. Now, he owns a coffee company(公司)called 734, which is a part of his program. The company has helped more than 200, 000 refugees living in the Gambella area till now. Kher said,"I know the difficulties and pains they face every day. You see kids die from hunger. You see kids dying of illnesses. You see kids running away from the refugee camp to find a place to be home,but die on the way."
Eighty percent of the money made by the coffee company is used to send more of the children to school. And, as Kher explains, the money helps refugees to help themselves. For example, a cup of 734 coffee can also buy one fishing net( 网)for a refugee. They can fish for themselves.
Kher sells the coffee online and to coffee stores. Megan Murphy owns a coffee store in Washington, D. C. She serves 734 coffee in her store and people love it.The coffee tastes delicious,so it's a win﹣win on both sides.
