Visits from "half the world" - 120 Countries

Yesterday we have reached visitor country no. 120 - French Polynesia.

So it looks like ART WORLD PROJECT is getting attention even in the most exotic areas of the world. During the last days we also got new registrations from Nigeria, Peru, Israel, China, Indonesia, San Francisco and New York City.

We are looking forward to your contributions from this various nationalities and cultures - and a warm welcome!

50,000 Contributions - Too far on the horizon ?

This question (or remark) came up on serveral platforms where entries about ART WORLD PROJECT are published.

Well, it's indeed far on the horizon and a big target, but lets face it from a sailor-point-of-view:
If you are on a ship far out on the ocean, nothing around you besides the ocean, sky and the horizon. You're moving and you know where you want to go, but it seems you aint getting closer.
Keep on your direction and motiviation - You will get closer, for sure!

Having this in mind, our project is moving and our motivation is borderless. Might be, that we are not moving that fast as we wish, because winds are not yet very strong. But the wind will increase by every single new participant who will join the project.

The reason why we selected the size of 50,000 contributions is simply described: Our project donation to unprivileged children should represent a remarkable and helpful support. So it could have been even bigger, but than it would be a difficult logistical problem to move and display it. The selected size still fits perfectly into any museum or elsewhere.

In this sense - we are looking forward to your supporting participation . We need stronger winds - because there are thousands of children looking for a horizon too.

Payment method for contributions

Currently we have implemented "PayPal" as an online payment tool for the contributions. With PayPal you can pay directly after you have reserved and ordered the field for your contribution (by credit card and thru your PayPal account if available).

We still working on implementing additional payment options and online payment systems. Most of them are having very high setup costs upfront, which we try to avoid. For payments within the European Community we will shortly introduce the payment option "bank tranfer", because there will be no transfer costs involved (using IBAN + BIC). This will of course give us some
more administration efforts, but we want to give it a try.

Would you rather or preferable make your payment by "bank transfer" if you could choose? This could only be an option for Europe - for payments from all other countries we still have to investigate cheaper transfer possibilities.

On the buttom of this page you will find a short "opinion poll" to this question and we would appreciate your opinion.
