Jewel testified before the US congress today
"We're pleased to announce that Jewel has become the newest Ambassador for Virgin Unite! Her first mission is teaming up with Virgin Mobile USA, StandUp For Kids and YouthNoise to bring attention to the problem of youth homelessness. These efforts are part of The RE*Generation, a campaign to connect at-risk youth with young people who want to help and make a difference around the issue of homeless youth.
As someone who was a homeless teen herself, this is an issue close to Jewel's heart. On June 19, she testified about her experiences as part of a hearing before the U.S. Congress on the crisis of youth homelessness, disconnected youth, and youth aging out of foster care." http://www.virginunite.com/view_content.phtml?id=336 http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070619/4...fa242c48e646f2 http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070619/4...806f7af0ad6822 http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070619/4...3b78d0c3fdf00b http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070619/4...0c05a9523a660f http://news.yahoo.com/photo/070619/4...8b65d563353fe5 Jewel's testimony... http://www.virginunite.com/view_content.phtml?id=335 Chris.

Jewel's life is becoming more radiant by helping people around who are homeless.
I will always pray for her that she will always be the beacon of light especially to the homeless youth. She is a modern day hero.

She did a great job, makes one proud of her. Did you see the jerk in the comment section, some people should be banned or shot.

I think the term 'dick' is an understatement and a half. Obviously, he has no clue and is just a selfish person with a closed mind. And we wonder why we can't progress when there are people like that twonk in the world.
