THE LIFTING PARAPHERNALIA DONATION CENTER
“Not charity but a chance” When we deliver love, regardless of the dimension,
something blooms. When nature delivers
water and sun, plants grow and bloom, giving life and opportunities to our ecosystem. Same thing applies for us humans. It doesn’t matter how small our donations are,
or even if they
are just emotional, something will bloom out of it. We are natural explorers, lovers of nature. In this donation centre that experience will be provided, creating a positive emotional memory in all the users. This experience will be defined by the steps we take in our natural habitat when we harvest and get our harvest. The journey is choreographed by nature, love, curiosity and a sense of social justice.
