Our Programs
One Choice – Cooking and Conversation
We provide hands-on entrepreneurial experience for youth and women ages 14 - 24 connected to churches, schools, organizations, colleges, and universities.
Participants will gain the cooking, mentorship, and life skills to build a life full of purpose and passion that is connected to a trade for themselves and their families for years to come.
Blue diamonds are real, natural diamonds that form beneath the earth’s surface over billions of years. These diamonds are not color-treated or enhanced to get their blue color—it is natural. The mesmerizing color of the blue diamond comes from traces of boron in the diamond’s carbon composition. Of all colored diamonds, blue diamonds are considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable types. In terms of rarity, blue stones are just as unusual as red, pink, and violet stones. While all blue diamonds are rare, the deepest blue ones are due to high color intensity. The larger the loose diamond, the rarer it is to find, and therefore, as a blue diamond gets larger, the value goes up.
