[edit] Collection of Contributions
Didillon creates a collection of charities for amnesty international (ai) and its fight against female genital mutilation in the Third World and elsewhere. The artist wants to raise funds and find spenders for collecting the amount of $ 1 Million. For this purpose he will do a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago from France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain in the late summer of 2007. Donators are asked to use the official bank data of ai and spend their contribution directly to the international organisation - ai gives more information about Didillon's "charity walk".
