Betty Williams, a 1976 Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of non-profit organization World Centers of Compassion for Children International (WCCCI), was honored with a Dreams of Africa™ pendant by Debi Wexler, Chief Executive Officer of online diamond retailer Whiteflash.com, during the largest-ever gathering of Nobel Laureates on US soil. Luminaries such as the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu attended the event to speak out against global conflicts and increased military spending at the expense of human health and welfare, especially children’s rights.
