Our daughter, Stephanie, and her friend, Lisa Curtis, have been friends for a long time. Actually as grade schoolers they cowrote an award winning essay for an Alameda Waste Management contest entitled Bobby and His Composting. Now they're all grown up and are off pursuing their dreams.

After a summer as an intern at the White House, Lisa joined the Peace Corps and was stationed in Niger. Now she's trying to help her former country-mates by creating a product that is based on Moringa which is plentiful in Niger. If her Kuli Kuli bars catch on, they will help Niger have a more profitable export crop. You can check out Kuli Kuli on Facebook.

They come in dark chocolate cherry and honey almond.

Eating right is alive in the lab.
