One of the most important ways to change the world is to lead by example. This is what we are doing by partnering with organizations like Cocoa Camino who produce the cocoa in La Siembra products.This picture is a photo of the visit to Ottawa paid by Cocoa Camino workers who were celebrating the award that was given to the c0-operative.
In April La Siembra, a co-operative in Ottawa-Gatineau won the WorldBlu "Worldwide Award for the Most Democratic Workplaces".
WorldBlu Founder and CEO Traci Fenton notes that "organizations that practice democracy in the workplace are creating the businesses of the future and will ultimately build a more sustainable and democratic world".
I am so happy to know that I am a part of this relationship even though I live across the country and I have never met these people. I know that the volunteers in our store in Vancouver are helping to make a difference in the lives of these people by enabling them to access our neighbourhood. It's really great to know that we are all connected!
