Returning to the Central Highlands on a warm mid-March day, my heart was strangely filled with joy. The car drove me through red dirt roads and coffee gardens in full bloom, the sky was blue and the sun shone brightly, totally different from the bustling and dusty city where I live. On this business trip to Dak Lak, I would attend the closing workshop for Phase 1 of the project “Child rights in coffee sourcing sector”, which I had been working on for 3 years as a monitoring and evaluation officer.
