Ngöbe Chocolate Workshops in Guna Yala (San Blas)

Date: 30/11/2013

A wonderful yummy weekend in Guna Yala.

We brought 3 expert chocolate makers from the Ngöbe community of Rio Oeste Arriba, Bocas Del Toro (where we built the school path) to the Guna Yala islands Soledad Mandinga and Naranjo Grande for some hands-on lessons on how to make organic, chocolate from the local Cocoa trees with classes on organic agricultural techniques and an introduction to bringing tourists to the cocoa fields.
This will enable the Guna Indians to produce healthy home-made native chocolate to sell to the tourists that visit the islands and bring much needed income to the community.
