Introducing Eden Jewellery
Inspiring Hope For Trafficking Survivors
 
Introducing 'This Is Eden' Jewellery
  
At Rheom Travel we believe that it is important to help others, now more than ever. That is why since October 2019 we have been donating $1 per booking to the amazing Eden initiative, (even if the booking is subsequently cancelled). Scroll down to learn more, and how every booking you make helps this incredible cause....
 
Eden is committed to calling the nations to speak up until all are free from sexual slavery, extending care and love to people who have been trafficked for sexual exploitation or sold as a bride, no matter their religion or ethnicity. At Eden, they care for the whole person: their physical, emotional, spiritual, economic, and social well-being. They journey with rescued women out of trauma and into a life full of dignity and hope.
 Nandar was sold to sex traffickers by her aunt at age 14. She was among the 40.3 million victims of modern-day slavery in our world today. 
  
The only bit of light she experienced was when Eden Outreach visited the brothel where she worked. She was offered rapid HIV testing, a message of hope, and a plan for escape – all in 15 stolen minutes away from the watchful eyes of her pimp. Eden left her, and all the women they met, with their contact details and a delicate Committed pendant to remind her that they are here and ready to walk alongside her on her journey to dream again.
  
When Nandar made the call to Eden, they worked to remove all barriers to rescue. they talked her through how to get out of the brothel, assured her they would pay the taxi fare on arrival and provided a safe place to live. At Eden, women like Nandar find a safe place to live and a restorative program of counselling, creative therapy, vocational training, and more. Nandar is comforted by Eden’s strong ties to the Anti Trafficking Police, government agencies, and nonprofits that refer other women like her to Eden. No matter how long it takes, they all find a loving and supportive home at Eden.
  
When Nandar came to Eden, she began trauma-focused therapy as the first step to healing. In art therapy, she painted a canvas depicting a dream for her new life. She then hung it, together with the dreams of the other Eden women, on Eden’s Dream Wall. Each day she passes these paintings. Nandar’s story changed from one of despair to one of hope. Next, she may begin a training program for her new career, or join their social enterprise making beautiful jewelry. Each piece is inspired by the true story of a courageous escape and handmade by rescued women. Each piece supports the rescue of more women just like Nandar. 
  
Each piece of jewellery is inspired by the true story of a courageous woman and handmade by rescued women. The profits from each of your purchases directly benefit the women in Eden’s comprehensive program to reach, rescue, and restore trafficking victims. From day one, a woman entering the Eden program earns a full-time wage making jewelry. The jewelry-making process itself is therapeutic. Creating pieces that carry stories of hope and courage into the world is empowering for survivors.
  
Each woman is paid a full day’s wage, but she only makes jewellery part-time. The rest of her hours are spent in counselling, art and dance therapy, and education classes.

This structure allows their beneficiaries to focus on healing without the pressure of earning enough income for themselves or their families. 

As she learns to hope again, she paints a picture of a dream for her life and hangs it on our Dream Wall. They then work with her to achieve that dream.
