Coffee Nature

I am currently having coffee at Human Nature, my favorite affordable natural store. I am here at the beginning of each month, as I have to restock on toiletries that are kind to my skin. Their advocacy speaks to me, because I support social enterprises and I believe that they are the key to a progressive economic future for our country. While I am having their free-flowing brewed coffee here, I am reflecting on how long I have been supporting Human Nature. I have been a loyal customer since 2010, but I have been a member since 2013. In my close to four years with them, I have witnessed their beautiful advocacy firsthand through immersions at the GK Enchanted Farm, my training and qualification as a Core Advocate, and my two weekends as a camper in the GK Startup Social Business Camp. I admire how they are able to impart to their stakeholders the power of "walang iwanan" (no man left behind). They do not fire their staff, and everyone is given living wages above minimum standards. Best of all, everything is Made in the Philippines, and they provide jobs to those who need them most. As a customer, I feel happy to support such a worthy cause and I look forward to witnessing more milestones for the brand. I am glad that their products care for my skin, hair, and body. They also awaken the Filipino in me to be proud of what can be achieved when we all work together. For now, I am finishing my coffee and I am excited for my next shopping trip here soon.
