    There's an article in Stuller's June newsletter about a project in
    Thailand called "NightLight". (Please chime in here Hanuman or Ton if
    you know something about it.) A woman who's been living there the
    past 5 years became aware of the growing problem of the sex trade,
    human trafficking, and child prostitition in Bangkok, and wanted to
    do something to help. She started a business in January '05 making
    sterling necklaces, earrings and bracelets with beads from the local
    businesses. But it's the girls and women who are now off the streets
    who are making the jewelry, and receiving competitive wages for their
    labor. Stuller suggested ways we jewelers can help: by sponsoring an
    event to sell the jewelry at your store, by sharing the information
    with your church or other religious organization, or by viewing other
    ideas at their website: www.nightlightbangkok.com. Since this is
    such a caring group of people, and it has something to do with our
    businesses, I thought those who didn't already read the article would
    like to know about it. 

Thanks,
Cindy
