'Chocolate for Obama in Ghana'

Entrepreneurial West African Cocoa Farmers Seek to Honor President Obama by
Extending Special Invitation during Historic Visit to Africa

WASHINGTON, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Kuapa Kokoo, co-owners of Divine Chocolate,
the pioneering fair trade chocolate brand, proudly extends an invitation for
President Obama to come visit them during his upcoming trip to Ghana. The
invitation includes the opportunity to learn not only about cocoa from Ghana,
but how this dynamic group of 45,000 cocoa farmers is using democratic
cooperation and Fair Trade as a way to improve the livelihoods of cocoa
farmers and to invest in their future.

"We wish to show Mr. Obama how cocoa farmers have joined together to build our
communities, invest in education, clean water and health. We urge him to join
our call for fair and dignified trade so that we farmers can be a greater part
of the solution to problems facing Ghana and all of Africa," says Mr. Paul CK.
Buah, President of Kuapa Kokoo Farmers Cooperative.

Kuapa Kokoo has been internationally recognized for its pioneering efforts in
Fair Trade. It is also an example of how African led social enterprises can
be leading forces for achieving development goals on the continent.

"The Obama administration has helped Americans see their relationship to the
world in a different way. This is a great opportunity to shine a light on
ways Americans can partner with Africans in practical solutions to poverty.
Kuapa's story, Divine's story, is one delicious place to start." Says Erin
Gorman, CEO of Divine Chocolate.

At its core, Divine Chocolate is an amazing story of how cocoa farmers from
Ghana came to own their own chocolate company. After 10 short years of
existence, Divine now counts several major brands as commercial partners in
its mission to improve the livelihoods of West African cocoa farmers through
Fair Trade including The Body Shop, Whole Foods, Virgin Atlantic, Wegmans,
Landmark Theaters and Borders Bookstores.

Members of the general public can join Kuapa Kokoo's invitation to President
Obama to see the impact of social enterprise in Ghana by emailing the White
House at www.whitehouse.gov - and encouraging him to accept the invitation of
Kuapa Kokoo.
