As an executive who travels the world, I feel there is nothing more disturbing than to see and hear about children who have been victimized. As a parent of young children, I just couldn't stand by and ignore this global tragedy any longer. With Jewelgirls, the jewelry industry and consumers, as a whole, can directly help innocent children to put their lives back together and be less susceptible to trafficking altogether.

We are going to see kabuki play of the century between China, Russia, United States, Pakistan, Iran and the crazy war-mongers in the region. Stay tuned.
