The Friendship Stone - A True Entrepreneur

Cathy Raff was a dreamer on a mission to start her business, little did she know she would become a traveler on the journey of a lifetime. Based in Israel, she works with her sister and co-partner in New York and Massachusetts to continue with her business. The time difference and physical distance in organizing the business took a toll on the owners, but they knew what they wanted and they planned to make it happen. Cathy had discovered the Tiger's Eye stone on a trip to South Africa and fell in love with its radiance, so she returned home with about 100 stones to give to friends as gifts. It wasn't long after that she discovered the importance of the stone.
She soon went to South Africa to see who she would work with and the people she would be helping, the person that would tumble her precious stones into the polished state, then she traveled to China to visit the factory that would produce the embroidered pouches for her. Once complete, she sent her finds to Ms. Warren in Mass. to handle the logistics of the company. This company of 4 workers has been around since 2007 and averages under $20,000 in annual revenue while still in the start-up phase. When you order a stone from her website, www.TheFriendshipStone.com, they take a portion of your payment and donate it to Project South Africa.
