THE OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Globe of Goodwill is to enrich the lives of children and young people with disabilities. All proceeds are used to support and expand the operation of Camp Reykjadalur, thus making it possible for a growing number of youngsters to experience adventures, have fun and make new friends. Thus it is the Globe’s contents that give it its true value - love and friendship.

A BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART

Every year one of Iceland’s foremost artists is given the task of making a unique piece of art using a clear blown-glass sphere – i.e. creating a Globe of Goodwill. Each Globe of Goodwill is a beautiful work of art and a delightful collector’s piece. No two Globes are exactly the same and each edition is limited. The Globe comes in a box with an accompanying booklet.
