We buy wholesale and sell the products for no profit. The coffees, tea and chocolate are of gourmet quality. (Best coffee I have ever bought.) It is a fun project for someone who enjoys this type of project.

There is a bussiness that I know of, its called Peacecraft. They sell clothing and other goods from all over the world. It is not for profit, all of their workers are voluteers and all profits go the people who made the porducts.
