Gifts to the World
Remember the light you carry in this world, a birthmark from the stars. It is there in your song, there in your footprint, there in the way you give to everyone around you.
Profits from the sale of the Lightkeeper bracelet directly fund Pure Art Foundation's day care centre in the slums of Pucallpa, Peru. The day-care, and this bracelet, commemorate the life and work of Ben McKinnon: a talented visionary and artist who left footprints of light in this world.
May this bracelet remind us of those who came before us, of the love they gave and the light they were.
