Jeff Pzena (left), is founder of Cotton Tree Lodge in Belize, where he is shown with business partner Chris Crowell. Jeff emails, “I have started a service learning program for college students who attend with their professors. The course work ranges from international business to rain forest ecology. Also, I now have a cocoa bean export business, Maya Mountain Cacao, which exported about 100,000 pounds of cocoa beans in 2013, and two chocolate companies, Cotton Tree Chocolate and Moho Chocolate. The lodge runs Chocolate Week tours so groups can participate in the entire chocolate-making process.”
