Here is something you can do RIGHT NOW to support the fight against trafficking. The Somaly Mam Foundation Store uses the money they raise from their products to continue their awesome work rescuing slaves in Cambodia. Most of the jewelry products that they sell are handmade by survivors in Cambodia and the sale of them helps support their new life of freedom. Check out these beautiful pieces for sale on the website now :
These beautiful scarves (above) and necklaces (below) are handmade by survivors at the SMF Tomdy Center (rehabilitation center) in Phnom Penh. Each and every one is unique, like the survivors who create them, so styles and colors vary from piece to piece. They are made of pure silk and reflect the appreciation of the buyers support by being named, "Akun," which in Cambodian means, "Thank You."
The necklace below is the first product in the SMF Empowerment line. The pendant was designed by Somaly to portray the reminder that the world can only be changed when hearts and hands come together. This pendant is cast in sterling silver and is sold for $50. Wearing this pendant reflects Somaly's personal strength, as well as the wearer's commitment to support the fight against modern day slavery.
