Alain Becker -- living in La Roque d’Anthéron, France -- is an avid collector of all things Kuna. It has been my pleasure to have contributed molas and artifacts to Alain's conservatory efforts over the years and now it is my pleasure to share some of his photos from La Roque d'Anthéron Kuna Museum with you here. (p.s. Yes, I love his name for me :o)

Panama is a developing country. And, although Panama City has some very good hospitals and clinics, medical facilities outside of Panama’s capital are limited. Add this fact to the remoteness of the islands making up the San Blas Archipelago and you can well imagine that neither eyecare or eyeglasses are readily available. So, as part of what I do, I purchase glasses, send them to friends -- Mark and Jeanne -- and they take the glasses with them to the islands when they travel there. Once on the islands, the glasses are distributed to the Kuna. This happens three times a year.
