<h3 id="merchant">Monero Merchant of the Week</h3>
<p><a href="https://gratuitas.org/" target="_blank"><img src="/img/gratuitas-logo.jpg" alt="Coinhost Logo" class="gratuitas"></a></p>
<p><a href="https://gratuitas.org/" target="_blank">Gratuitas</a> is a social impact startup that allows the consumer to tip coffee producers in developing nations using Monero.</p>
<p>How does it work? Gratuitas is using products that are produced by under appreciated, hard-working people living in developing countries. Now you are able to thank those workers directly with a tip.</p>
<p>As a proof-of-concept, Gratuitas has provided coffee farmers in Brazil with Monero private keys. These keys correspond with public key QR codes printed on the bags your coffee is delivered in. You can scan that code to tip the coffee producer directly. If the coffee pilot is a success, Gratuitas will add other products to our offerings, and seek partnerships.</p>
<h3 id="volunteer">Volunteer Opportunities</h3>
<p>If you want to get involved in making Monero better, but arent sure how, check out the volunteer opportunities below.</p>
