The Pay It Forward Bracelet
These Bracelets are not for sale!
Rather they are gifts of AGAPE love.
Agape love means love given unconditionally,
Paying If Forward random acts of kindness,
are kindness shown to a complete stranger,
When were pay for a cup of coffee, or for some else's
petrol we are not seeking for a person to return
this kindness to us, if the feel then need to repay us,
we ask that at some stage in the coming week they
PAY IT FORWARD. Charley explained we wear
the bracelet to remind ourselves to Pay It Forward,
but it is also a tool to help us explain the
Pay It Forward concept to strangers
by passing on the bracelet to others we are
sharing the Pay It Forward concept.
This project is funded by Charley himself,
but the idea is so hugely popular that
supply can not presently keep up with demand.
To keep the concept growing the bracelets
must remain free! On the left hand tool bar
the is a link where you can donate towards
the costs of production. A donation is
a gift of AGAPE LOVE. You do not receive
bracelets in return for a gift,
That would be the same as buying the bracelet.
If you know a company who might be interested
in investing in spreading the Pay It Forward
message through donating to the costs
of the bracelets please use the link to
the website and get in touch with Charley.
THANK YOU!
