Diamonds to Rice

The Foundation for Environmental Security and Sustainability is helping Sierra Leone fill in diamond pits to grow rice, providing food and a future for the war torn land.

A non-governmental organization teams up with Sierra Leonians to rebuild their war torn country – planting rice fields where once lay the raw earth remnants of conflict diamond mining. Host Bruce Gellerman speaks with Darci Glass-Royale, executive director of FESS, the Foundation for Environmental Security and Sustainability, and Daniel Gbondo, a Sierra Leonian who works for FESS in his home country.
