SHADES OF LOVE

On Saturday we had the extraordinary honour to meet with His Holiness The Dalai Lama at his residence in Dharamsala, India 🙏

We are so elated, mesmerised and thankful to have had the opportunity to meet him and to present Shades Of Love and the work we do with Tibetan communities across the Himalayas.

His Holiness kept the pair of custom shades we brought him so we are one up on our distribution count 😎

Did you know that the risk of developing certain eye diseases, like UV-related cataracts, increases significantly with altitude — by up to 10% for every 500 meters gained?

The higher you go, the thinner the atmosphere and the more intense the UV radiation, putting your eyes and everything eyesight enables you to do at greater risk 🏔
