On Friday, September 15, 12 Nobel Peace Prize winners gathered in Denver, Colorado to voice their desire for the building of education and peace in impoverished and war-torn areas of the world. This was the largest-ever gathering of Nobel Laureates on US soil.

Luminaries such as the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu attended to speak out against global conflicts and increased military spending at the expense of human health and welfare, especially children's rights.

"Our Dreams of Africa are not for partial peace. They are for total peace," Wexler said.

"Betty and I are aligned in our vision to build safe and nurturing environments for children who need a second chance in life."

"If we start teaching peace at the beginning of these young children's education, we will help these children to shine like brilliant diamonds for the world."

Specifically, Whiteflash.com will focus on efforts to help children who have suffered from conflicts in Sierra Leone, Liberia and other African countries. Conflict or "blood" diamonds are illicitly smuggled diamonds, the sales of which are used to finance wars against countries' legitimate governments.

"We need consumers to understand that there is a huge difference between blood diamonds and conflict-free diamonds," said Wexler. "Not all diamonds are ill-gotten. When diamond mining is undertaken in the correct manner, without child labor or government conflict, the profits build infrastructure and serve as a source of livelihood for hundreds of thousands of people."
