The Prize

Take home this gorgeous painting by renowned Greek street artist Sonke.

This elegant melancholic female figure wanders literally all over the place and can be found adorning the streets of Athens - and now you can welcome her to your home, too.

When asked if the city of Athens inspired him, Sonke responded: 'Of course I am influenced by Athens, the cityscape and the people of Athens. That’s the reason for the sadness behind my works..maybe most of the people here are sad (beneath their smiley faces on Saturday nights..)'

This sombre and thought-provoking painting would make a beautiful addition to any art-lover's home.

The Cause

As you may have noticed, the world of disability and mobility is developing fast, and mentalities about the necessity to get a maximum of accessible places have been evolving.

It is increasingly common to talk about the “Disability market” because the tourism sector is aware that there is a real opportunity to attract and retain new customers, who were often cast aside in the past. Unfortunately, a large amount of persons with reduced mobility still do not travel and are often reluctant to move into unfamiliar surroundings.

80% of people do not travel because they do not get responses to their requests, and the necessary information in order to prepare their trip in the best possible way. The Wheeling Around the World Foundation’s aim is to break down the barriers in order to enable everyone to travel in the best possible conditions, and to fulfill their dreams.

The Wheeling Around the World Foundation also intends to be the spokesperson of disability and mobility, in order to heighten the awareness of institutions and the tourism industry about the importance of accessibility for everyone.
