When coffee was introduced in Rwanda, my family was among
the first coffee farmers. I inherited growing coffee
from my parents. When I was young, I remember
that we had three small plantations... with around 1,000 coffee trees. At that time, I was sure the only way to
earn money was growing coffee. So, when I had Willy, I decided that I should
teach him to grow coffee, so he knows how to look after coffee,
the work it takes, learns the benefits and learns to love it. So when I grow old
and can't do it anymore myself, he can take over the tradition
