Don’t tell anyone, but I sometimes watch the Tyra Banks Show. The other night, I had some free time so I took advantage of this secret indulgence. Tyra was pretty painful to watch (it’s a good thing she’s beautiful) but her guest was so inspirational that I had to write a story about her. Her name is Somaly Mam and she is an escaped victim from a brothel in Cambodia. She has started the Somaly Mam Foundation which raises money for young women and children who have fallen victim to this horrible system of enslavement. The foundation raises money through the sale of handmade bracelets. I think the red bracelet is the cutest! This is the perfect way to finish up your holiday shopping while helping to save the world. Go ahead, have your cake and eat it too! Akun Bracelet, $25.00 at www.somaly.org.
