Afterwards the results will be donated to the foundation „Kindermalen“, an organization for underprivileged children worldwide.

Also Leo Stern will contribute 100 autographed screenprints, which show the first draft of the ‚VOLK', (amounting of 200 euro).
There will be 700 fortunes for 15 euro each. Five of them will flow into a good cause, into the donation ‚Kunst.Bildet.Wissen.'
