Glen in Cape Town wishes that all children are warm, have full stomachs, a good education and are allowed to be free to express their opinions.

Tony in Brooklyn wants the president to bring US troops home from war.

These are just two messages written on Annette Jahnel's car during her year-long artistic pursuit across the world.

Arriving in Kingston last week, she invited other men over 35 to join in her mission - to turn her vehicle into a piece of art by collecting wishes from men the world over.

She said: "Women tend to think about these things more than men, so I thought I would ask men to think of a wish for the world.

"Also, by and large, it appears it is men over 35 who have the power, and who make the decisions."

Annette has driven 60,000km and travelled through 23 countries and 22 states of the US. She said people in the British Isles had been more reserved towards her, but she was still surprised by some people's reactions.

"Some women have got upset that they can't write on the car. Also, when I'm driving, people always do a double-take when they see all the writing on the car - which could become slightly hazardous," she said.

But Annette, 42, said she hadnot had any romantic proposals along the way.

She said: "No, I haven't met any romantic interests along the way. All the men have been frightfully gallant, although one man did kiss me on the cheek which I thought was quite cheeky.

"Some have even said they've wanted to join me in my journey, but I haven't let them!"

Annette left Kingston on Monday and headed for continental Europe. She will finish her travels in Paris in April.

After finishing her final leg of the journey, Annette hopes to sell the car as a work of art.

The car will be described as a "participation piece" and will be titled 1 Planet 1 People.

If you are a man above 35 and wish to participate in the project you can add your wish at 1planet1people.blogspot.com.
