We’re pleased to announce that our 100 acre farm in Sierra leone has began to produce for the Kono youth. We recently visited the youth and the farm with Greener Diamond endorser Johnny littlefield and couldn’t be happier about the progress being made.

Last night’s episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was in Salem, Oregon for the Halloween episode. Ty, Johnny, Paige and Michael showed up with celebrity guest Rob Zombie to help the kids attending the Oregon School for the Deaf. The School runs a haunted house that is vital in creating enough revenue to help run the school throughout the year. The design team not only showed up and completely rebuilt the schools haunted house named “The Nightmare Factory” but also created new dorm rooms for the attending kids to stay in.

Greener Diamond endorser Johnny Littlefield was in the greener diamond shirt during the episode and even hung out for a while with the crowd and handed out some greener diamond t-shirts to some lucky fans.

To learn more about the Greener Diamond and the work we are doing with Johnny in Africa please visit thegreenerdiamond.org. The Greener Diamond is passionately sponsored by MiaDonna & Company.
