Diamonds Support SOS Children’s Villages.

December 10, 2007

SOS Children’s Villages is no stranger to diamonds. In 2006, the practice of mining diamonds to finance conflict was brought to the big screen in the film, Blood Diamond. SOS Children’s Villages has villages in areas of conflict, and parts of the movie were not only filmed near SOS villages, but some of our children appeared as extras! The Blood Diamond movie has brought welcomed attention to these areas of conflict, and to SOS Children’s Villages.

But the diamonds I refer to in the title are not related to the Blood Diamond movie.

The Dalumi Group is a diamond company that through a yearly fund for 12 children will aid towards food, clothing, medication, and school supplies in Botswana. And news from The Dalumi Group’s Director of Marketing, “I’m proud to highlight that our commitment is a long lasting one. At the end of the first year of this project we will meet again with SOS Children’s Villages Botswana and discuss ways to develop our support to this project based on the feedback we’ll receive.”

Thank you!
