This is not going to be a lengthy post. The thing is - I don't particularly enjoy writing - only sometimes. The way I write is without much thought; I just do it. It's an exercise that occurs to me spontaneously, allowing me to use Hive to share my thoughts or anything I want at a particular time. This post isn't anything special; it's not going to change the world.
Sometimes, my brain and I feel excitement about grand ideas, building applications, implementing technology, connecting people, attending events like the one in Ghana along with @mcsamm or creating documentaries that I can proudly share with the community. We can all showcase these efforts and say, 'This is what we are doing as part of Hive.'
Now, what does Hive have to do with cocoa beans? Why am I even writing about it? I won't delve into how I met @hallmann and ended up in @krolestwo, but I can say that it's an amazing story I always love to share, and I hope to discuss it more at some point. One important thing: throughout my journey with Hive, Dawid - @hallmann - has become my friend. I've visited an amazing place in the heart of Krakow where you can pay in HBD, talk about Hive, or where we organize various events.
When I was preparing to make a documentary, Dawid, being a fan of chocolate, asked me to bring some cocoa beans. At one of the boreholes where the community now has access to water, thanks to Hive, they also had a Cocoa Fruit plantation and were drying cocoa beans.

So, I took the opportunity to kindly ask/buy from them. Unfortunately, the villagers couldn't accept Hive as payment, but they kindly gave me some dried beans.
I packed them securely and brought them all the way from Ghana to Poland without any issues, even going through airport security checks. So, hey! If anyone from Ghana is coming to Poland, feel free to bring 50kg of cocoa beans in your checked baggage. But now, we're seriously considering sending large amounts in tons via containers. Does anyone think it's possible?
Here in Poland we held a small event where we made chocolate.

These are the kinds of things I don't often share. However, I mention them here to illustrate a small story of how Hive is connected.
