Shades of love

JÜRGEN ALTMANN

Jürgen Altmann from Munich is the owner of the AROMA KAFFEEBAR and the man behind SHADES OF LOVE: a project launched in 2009 which protects families and individuals from eye damage and serious eye diseases in the Himalayan mountains where about 90% of the population are affected. Sunglasses are the answer. People living 3,500 to 5000 meters up are exposed to intense sunlight and harmful UV rays all year round. Jürgen supplies new and used sunglasses to as many people as possible, even in the remotest areas.
