About the family

Abraham and his family are true sons of the land, victims of the armed conflict and displaced. His father was a farmer at heart, while his mother worked her magic at home. Cocoa, a latent passion in Abraham, was momentarily overshadowed but eventually resurfaced with renewed vigor, symbolizing perseverance in this land they now call home, protecting the forest, water, and biodiversity.
