\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJhasneider is a young farmer, born in Vista Hermosa, Meta, who went from \u201cnot knowing where to go nor where to take\u201d, to having his own business: \u201cEl Reposo\u201d, a local place where tourists can enjoy the specialty of the coffee, which today is a symbol of resilience in a territory historically marked by violence, that now produces Colombian coffee of the highest quality.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe call from an uncle was enough for this 20-year-old to sign up to learn everything about coffee, its cultivation, its varieties, its characteristics and, most importantly, the way to bring it to the final consumer as a source of sustainable income; everything, facilitated through an alliance between Nestle Youth Initiative, USAID and the ACDI\/VOCA LA Foundation, which welcomed the young people from the territory into a training program in innovation and good agricultural practices.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Every day begins at four in the morning with a cup of hot coffee and, after the routine work at the family dairy shop, Jhasneider Gonzalez begins his 30-minute trip to El Reposo, in the village of Maracaibo, where he works with his business partner Gloria Stefani Perea, who was his classmate. From 9am, when they open the caf\u00e9, to 5pm, Gloria and Jhasneider alternate work tasks and work hand in hand to make their business continue to grow.<\/p>

\u201cWe also can and want to learn, which is why we did it. I am very satisfied with the training we received in coffee, barista, roasting and tasting. Our territory can be sustainable if they promote more initiatives like these. We, being locating on one of the roads to access Ca\u00f1o Cristales, have found the way to bring the flavours of the coffee produced in the municipalities of Vista Hermosa and Mesetas to the tourists, continuing the work carried out by the farmers of this land.<\/p>

\u201cBefore, I didn\u2019t like to drink coffee and now I want to be a chef\u201d, concludes Jhasneider.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
