Check us out on YouTube: BVB Newsletter   Our Sponsors Make Our Work Possible. As you know, Buenos Vecinos de Boquete works ambitiously to serve the community.  Our most important sponsors, however, make our work possible.  As we introduced previously, AgroNosotros is one of our very valued sponsors.  AgroNosotros is a group, composed of a few smaller companies.  One of these companies is International Coffee Farms, whose coffee is commercialized under the brand Cuatro Caminos.  This company strives to own and operate Specialty Coffee farms in Panama that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. Sustainability is the cornerstone of their business model.  It is not just a buzzword thrown around or a marketing tool.  AgroNosotros believes that with these 3 pillars of sustainability they can produce amazing Specialty Coffee now and for generations to come.   Another division of AgroNosotros is The Perfect Pair, which serves Cuatro Caminos coffee and who also makes delicious chocolate treats. Every month they make sure that each family we support enjoys their tasty chocolate treats through their product donations. If you want to try some of their specialty coffee and chocolate treats, head right on over to The Perfect Pair in the heart of Boquete, Panama!

He and Wendy have taught their children to treasure what they have, their family and their land.                As a family, they fully enjoy hiking, swimming, and exploring waterfalls.  Surrounded by Panama's lush natural beauty, they have learned to appreciate their natural environment every day!  The outdoor beauty is a daily reminder for Jose to work hard for his family wherever he can find work and to ensure that all seven of his children continue their education and live a happy and healthy life; as that is Jose’s ultimate dream for his loving family.  Until regular work is found, Jose and Wendy are thankful for the supplemental food Buenos Vecinos de Boquete is able to provide for their family. #Comida es Vida How You Can Help.   If you would like to help our clients and the efforts of Buenos Vecinos de Boquete, we would appreciate your donation of any size.
