Organic Chocolate Firm To Send “Ambassadors” On Humanitarian Mission To Dominican Republic

Green & Black's Fair Trade Certified Organic Chocolate brand has launched a Global Ambassador program that will dispatch ten Americans and Britons on a 14-day trip in March 2011 to the Dominican Republic where they will join a local cocoa farming community. The company says the main task of the “ambassadors” will be to assist in construction of a gravity-fed water system that will provide community access to fresh, drinkable water. To qualify as an ambassador under the program, individuals must provide evidence that they have made a difference in their own communities and are interested in helping the Dominican cocoa farming community. Winners will be announced in January.
