    Its crazy to know that while we are living in what we call a civilized society there are tragedies like whats going on in Sierra Leone occurring daily. Im sure Im not the only one who is having internal conflict after watching and wondering what I should do with the diamonds I own. Or a better question is should I even desire new dianonds after seeing this footage. I know that not all diamonds come from this region but how can I be sure they did not. Ladies can you weigh in…….Watch and decide if you still want a diamond engagement ring.

    This is a horrible situation. It is sad that there have been so many people destroyed in the Motherland due to the valuable natural resources. It has been said that money is the root of all evil. We know the value of the resources in Africa and our brothers and sisters are the victime. Education is the key to making your decision about the diamonds from this region. Scheme has given you this opportunity to be educated and aware. I know we will all take advantage of what we have learned and know that there is nothing more valuable than human life.
