The year is drawing to a close and IWISHUSUN can look back on an eventful and successful 2013. We are overwhelmed by the massive positive feedback we have received this year. That’s why we would like to use this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us this year in our battle against blindness.
We are very happy to be able to count on a steadily growing network of creative ambassadors for the cause. You can read the IWISHUSUN interviews here and get an overview of our latest products here. Moreover our People section introduces you to the people in Bangladesh who suffered from preventable blindness and have been saved by a cataract operation or received a pair of glasses through ORBIS National Childhood Blindness Project (NCBP) two causes IWISHUSUN supports!
Next year, 2014, will be no less fascinating with our motto “It’s good for you and good for others”. Until then the IWISHUSUN team wishes you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Thank you,
The IWISHUSUN team.
What we see: Bali
Our friend and Berlin-based co-founder of MADE, Nico Zeh takes a rest. His beautiful haven: Bali. His companions: his family and our IWISHUSUN logo T-shirt. We enjoy this glorious view and wish you a merry christmas, Nico!
Check out Nico’s interview here and learn more about his thoughts, amongst others about his vision for his personal work: “I try to stay true and honest to myself and my principles in everything that I do. Only through this, can the work – any kind of action – truly shine and represent your own personal development and growth towards your own truth.”
Also, you can order your own IWISHUSUN log T-shirt here and finance a pair of glasses for a school child in Bangladesh with every tee sold online.

Christmas is a time for giving and what could be better than to get a beautiful, highly desired art work and at the same time to do good to make the festive period a happy one for others?! Buying our products is good for you and good for others since with every item sold an eyesight will be saved but we also want to introduce you to another opportunity to give back to the people in need: once again LUMAS and artnet Auctions present their annual charity auction, “HELP US BUILD A SCHOOL IN MYANMAR” 2013. 18 sold out pieces from LUMAS’ portfolio are currently auctioned and 100 per cent of the funds raised will go to the Amara Foundation e.V., which will use the donations to finance the construction of a new school in Burma (also known as Myanmar).
In 2008, typhoon “Nargis” left a trail of destruction through the country. Much of the population is still without basic services, as reconstruction and repair is a long and arduous process. To not let this disaster ruin a child’s life, LUMAS and artnet Auctions will use their profit to finance the construction of a new school in a village at the foot of the Pyapon River in Burma. Additionally, LUMAS will support the school’s operating costs for the first three years.
By indulging in a beautiful work of art, you can help give these children a more promising future. Learn more about the LUMAS charity auction 2013 and its presented art works here.
