How does GCN fuel your passion?
Katey Webber joins Global CaféNation with a passion for educational advancement and poverty alleviation. Throughout her life she has observed the opportunities that quality education can provide for children and she wants to communicate that message to the world. In her opinion, Global CaféNation exemplifies the perfect mechanism to not only promote that message, but also to actively provide a sustainable solution.
Every day, in each strategic decision we make, we remember to ask ourselves, is this sustainable? The answer is YES! Education is the most sustainable solution to poverty in countries all across the world, including our own. It is this educational element of Global CaféNation’s mission that truly fuels Katey’s passion. By providing an education to students in developing countries, the opportunities expand infinitely for those children.
More specifically, Global CaféNation will provide access to an education in business. A greater knowledge of business allows the entrepreneurs of developing nations to have their dreams realized. Global CaféNation has shed new light on the importance of her own International Business education and she believes the company can do the same for students all across the world. With each business course Katey takes she recognizes a new opportunity to utilize that knowledge. Global CaféNation provides a real-world application for Katey’s business education. Likewise, Global CaféNation can provide a business education for the coffee farmers, artisan good creators, and other future entrepreneurs with real-world experience. With this hope and with the help of consumers, Katey believes Global CaféNation can accomplish our mission and improve the opportunities for students across the world.
Favorite Coffee
Katey considers herself a Tanzanian Peaberry addict. Before tasting the Tanzanian Peaberry coffee, Katey did not realize that coffee could have a fruitful taste. She experiences visions of blackberries and chocolate when drinking her favorite coffee. It’s her morning dessert, and while she recommends all the Global CaféNation coffees, Katey is particularly partial to the Tanzanian Peaberry. Never a drinker of black coffee, she now ONLY drinks the Tanzanian Peaberry black and encourages all coffee drinkers to try it that way first before drowning it in creamer. Once you taste it, it is clear that Global CaféNation only uses the top five percent of all beans grown in the world.
Favorite Origin
Katey sees the potential for great educational opportunities in Tanzania as we create our first business program. She believes we must begin on a small scale in order to create a big impact. As we nurture our close connection with this country, we can grow the program and develop a new generation of entrepreneurial minds.
