MARIETTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jun 11, 2014) - StudentConnect Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTC Pink: ECDC) (PINKSHEETS: ECDC), today announced that it has received order for 100 school buses and approximately 4000 students from Smart1st LLC., Beirut, Lebanon.

"Seems the global market is very receptive to the product we have developed and the growth is obviously becoming organic. This is the beginning of our expansion into international markets and the continuing successes we are experiencing with StudentConnect," said Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO ECDC.
