'Gayo Mountain' coffee
If trade is ultimately the best form of support for developing countries - including the Tsunami disaster region - we should be buying from them. Here is an opportunity!

The excellent Highland Coffees in Crieff, Perthshire are selling coffee from Aceh and donating profits to relief funds. They have a fine organic called ‘Gayo Mountain’, grown by a cooperative originally founded with the idea of promoting ethnic harmony.
The coffee area in Aceh is inland and was safe from the tsunami (if not the earthquake), but tragically a number of the children of the members of the cooperative were at school in Banda Aceh and died in the disaster.
