Widely expose the true consequences of our collective lust for diamonds. Replace ignorance and complacency, with information and choice.

Ignorance may be bliss for some, but for those born to less choice, ignorance manifests as; rape, murder, mutilation, child soldiers and what's essentially modern day slavery.
Abolish the trend equating bling & diamonds, with: power, wealth, and romance.

Encourage individual empowerment, by offering each of us the opportunity to stand united, towards a new trend of; Courage, Conciousness, Compassion and Choice.
