The Embassy will submit to the Commission the admissible WISHES, which will, according to the available budget, select those that are economically sustainable and practically achievable, and insert them in a short list. To this first list, will also be added the WISHES that, for costs or organizational reasons, are not immediately achievable; these WISHES will be brought to the attention of donors or sponsors in Serbia, Italy, France and Monaco or any other country, for a possible willingness to support its costs. A <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">final list will be then obtained and closed on September 13th 2015<\/span>. The Commission will have the final draft of the accepted projects and will inform the Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta which will in turn inform by official letter the &#8220;qualified&#8221;. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The official handover ceremony will take place at (location to be defined) on October 13th, 2015, &#8211; Feast of Blessed Gerard, Founder of our Order of Malta<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The WISHES can represent a dream, an aspiration, a desire or a specific need of the young candidates. Every <strong>WISH<\/strong> has to be compatible with the Mission of the Sovereign Order of Malta to help mainly those who suffer or those who have basic needs for a decent life. There are no limits, sizes or default scopes, if not the reasonable possibility of realization with both affordability and organizational boundaries. For example, you can dream and propose &#8220;a trip to the Moon with a Knight&#8221; as a WISH, but it will be impossible for the Commission to accept this kind of desire!<br \/>\nThe Commission will evaluate the projects according to the following <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">six categories of WISHES: \u201creceive special medical care\u201d, &#8220;do something&#8221;, &#8220;enhance artistic and cultural skills\u201d, &#8220;meet a famous public figure&#8221;, &#8220;receive an object&#8221;, and \u201cgo to a specific place\u201d<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission reserves the right to choose and select the WISHES to its discretion in base of its admissibility and evaluation of adequacy. Priority will be given to WISHES of humanitarian and medical nature or particularly creative breaks from children with major social problems.<br \/>\nEvery letter or application form submitted to the Commission, must be signed by the parent or legal guardian. The maximum length of description of the <strong>WISH<\/strong> will have to be up to 50 words.<\/p>\n<p>Letters without full name of the child, date and place of birth, names of parents (or legal guardian), address, contact telephone, and name and address of attended school, will not be admitted.
