forward ) to achieve this wonderful goal.

“Sponsoring children with high ability is a unique way to participate actively or passively, to the recovery
of the native human potential of intelligence and sensitivity. By participating in the great project of
superintelligences, you can fulfill your childhood’s dream: you are one step closer to everything you have
dreamed! "- Gheorghe PĂRĂŞCAN, 2009.

"I decided to be involved in this project because I have been teaching at the University of Art and Design
in Cluj and worked for a long time with the young talented and very talented. Unfortunately we live in a
world where the only acceptable value is money, the only one that makes the difference. Many Gifted
children are lost due to harsh conditions they live, and the poor conditions that their parents can offer in
their support. I learned that by providing support to a child or a young Gifted, you give them confidence
and the wings so that they can fly. We can not even imagine how high they will be able to soar." - Andor
KŐMIVES, 2009.

"I am very happy to Donate for this cause to assist and elevated Gifted Children. My painting "Sun
Landscape" is an acrylic on canvas painting with a Metal Frame. It was inspired by the reflection of the
sun in Blue and green water near the Sand Bar with the Blue Moon in the Far Right Corner. Best wishes
for your Fundraising. "- Mary NASH, July, 2009

"I think cultural values are all the more harder to assimilate by our society, a society where consumerism
has occupied by force, one by one, all frequencies that could resonate with artistic creation. From here
prompted the revolver in my painting - the leitmotiv born from self-defense of the artist's attitude towards
the consumerism aggression to which the artist is exposed every day, on the dark streets or in the spotlight
through the media or in the daily interaction with the others. "- CUZINA, 2009

"I think the creation act as a living phenomenon, whose program is inside of us; the program the better we
succeed in discovering and closely following, the more the result of our work becomes alive, being able to
prompt appropriate reactions." – Vasile TOLAN, 2009.
