"Building relationships between sponsors and characters is a central part of our work. We strive to provide opportunities for disparate life forms to come together and make a difference in each other's lives."
Peter Thaler & Lars Denicke, PictoOrphanage directors

 

	"I get so much more than I give, that's for sure."
Olaf Nicolai, contemporary artist and project donor

 

	"My sponsor has not simply been my foster parent, but also a friend... He inspired me to keep on going, so that in the future (not to far from now) I will make something out of my life that will make him very proud to have sposored a character."
Helper, character by Tim Biskup and current PictoOrphan

 

	"When I'm in school, I always keep in mind that I have to try hard because I have a dream: that one day I'll be able to perform in public."
Peeper, character by MDRL and current PictoOrphan

 

	"Character sponsorship makes you feel that you can make a difference. It may be a small one on a global scale, but it is a very significant one for an individual character".
General Sir Michael Jackson, Head of the British Army and character sponsor

 

	"I used work at the local shopping mall with an embarrassing sandwich board around my neck. Today, thanks to the Character Care programme, i'm learning how to perform and dance, I stay physically fit and I have the chance to cooperate with a lot of upcoming conceptual artists, video directors and musicians."
Bimbo, character by Boris Hoppek and PictoOrphan

 

	"My character helps me out a lot. For me it's very important that it writes me letters and I can write letters back and we can be in contact. And I can't wait to meet my character personally at the upcoming 2nd Pictoplasma Conference."
Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage and character sponsor

 

	"My character is a part of my personality"
Walt Disney, Self-proclaimed character connoisseur
