MiaDonna CEO, Anna-Mieke Anderson, and Extreme Makeover Home Edition designer, Johnny Littlefied, are still in Africa, but we wanted to share these photos of them on their trip so far. Over the past few days they have held workshops, done press conferences, met with former child soldiers who are currently working on our 100 acre farm, met the Mayor of Monrovia, traveled all over with Youth Action International director Kimmie Weeks, attended a football game as VIP guests and made the front page of the Liberian newspaper just to name a few.
