Planting new trees after rainfall

Published : August 10, 2022

Two weeks ago, Y30D, our sister organization on the ground, set out to meet the villagers of Haraz. For an entire week, our members traveled from the ” Nurseries of Hope” to pack coffee onto our pick-up truck and headed to the valley of Haraz to distribute 5,000 plants to various farmers. As mentioned earlier, large parts of Yemen were blessed with rainfall, which not only filled our “Basins of Hope” with water, but also motivated the people of Yemen to plant new trees.

Y30D distributed 100 plants to each farmer. In the video, you can see a local farmer from Haraz planting new coffee trees. We hope these plants will grow and provide the farmers with lots of coffee!

We thank you for your support

Sincerely yours,

Association Y30

This special celebration was more than just raising a cup; it was a journey of discovery, tracing the story that begins with a tiny bean nurtured in fertile mountain soil and ends with a cup that carries joy, inspiration, and community.

 

Under the theme “The Magical Journey… From Bean to Cup,” the event highlighted coffee as a global symbol of unity — a bridge connecting cultures, stories, and people across continents.

 

Each coffee bean represents dedication, craftsmanship, and passion — from the farmer’s care to the barista’s artistry.

 

One of the event’s most memorable moments was the engaging presence of barista and coffee expert Ammar Al-Ahlasi, who filled the room with enthusiasm and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

 

He came not just to serve coffee, but to share knowledge and unveil the secrets behind this enchanting beverage.

 

Ammar emphasized that brewing coffee is both an art and a ritual — from choosing the right grind size to controlling the water temperature and mastering the pouring technique. Every detail matters.

 

Each drop of water that touches the ground extracts not just flavor, but also a story, a feeling, and a sense of connection — creating a cup that nourishes the soul as much as the senses.

 

In closing, the Y30closing, the Y30 Association, in collaboration with the Y30 Institute, affirmed that this event was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the timeless values that coffee embodies: dedication, creativity, and human connection.

 

Every cup tells a journey — from the earth to the heart — reminding us that coffee is not merely a beverage, but a way of life.
