"As a socially responsible design company in the diamond industry, we believe it is our duty to support children who have suffered under blood diamond conflicts and to create awareness in order to combat such illicit diamond trade."
In coming months, Whiteflash.com and WCCCI will work to establish the first center for learning, headquartered in Italy, with the purpose of providing scholarships for children from Sierra Leone and other African countries, and to instill values of peace and understanding during these children's' early education.
Land has already been donated by the Italian government to start these centers until hot spots of conflict stabilize in vulnerable areas of Africa.
Whiteflash.com and WCCCI will also work to develop a web site that features the Dreams of Africa pendant as well as information on the largely-successful United Nations resolution, the "Kimberly Process," which uses rigorous tracking to ensure that illegal blood diamonds are not available for sale around the world.
