“Madécasse (pronounced mah-DAY-cas) chocolate, on the other hand, is made from beans grown in Madagascar and produced in factories nearby. The company is owned by two young Americans, Brett Beach and Tim McCollum; both worked there as Peace Corps volunteers before moving on to the U.S Embassy and Usaid in Madagascar (Brett) and the business world and business school in New York (Tim). Because their entire manufacturing process happens in Madagascar’s cacao-growing region, much of the profits go back into the local economy.”

Tim is a good friend — I am so happy for him!
