Is Lobilat is a charity or a business?
Both. Lobilat is a hipster fluffy. He has business as he needs to help Miss Stanhope with the rent and food shopping. HOWEVER Lobilat also runs charity projects for refugee projects.
Hence, Lobilat has a business account. As an art figure he is also part of a charity association and has his own charity bank account.
Is Miss Stanhope an artist?
No, she is not. Lobilat is an art figure. He is also a art figure/project in the charity association art aspects e.V.
Why are there no pictures,
where one can see Miss Stanhope?
I, Lobilat, am so much better looking.
It is a website about me, not about Miss Stanhope.
Who is your favorite poet?
RUMI
Jalaluddin Rumi (1207 -1273) is one of the great mystic figures. A sufi. If you want to read more about him, I strongly recommend the book by Elif Shafak "The 40 rules of love".
As I like to give away quotes by RUMI, I have designed a card set (40 quotes) Rumi available in my online shop.
Where are you both from?
Lobilat:
From a Swedish furniture house called IKEA.

What do you wish for?
world peace
another dog - pumped by blood
a bigger apartment with a separate office
What is a fluffy mission?
Bringing Syrian refugee children
living in refugee camps Lebanon fluffy friends.
Part of the fluffy missions are the art activities
with kids in Lebanon and Berlin.
What does IKEA say?
For a long time, they said nothing.
I guess, because we were and are a tiny project.
In December 2017 we were awarded 1006 Euro and thus were able to do some bigger at art projects.
Why do you bring Syrian refugee children
fluffy friends from IKEA?
Miss Stanhope loves me (LOBILAT).
I do come from IKEA. Miss Stanhope thinks I am indeed a perfect fluffy friend. She wants the Syrian refugee children to have the same supersoft experience that she has. Originally she just wanted to distribute a few fluffy friends on the streets of Beirut. She never thought this would turn into a bigger project.
How do you finance yourselves?
We finance our fluffy missions over the donations for the fluffy friends and donations that are simply there to fund our projects.
Miss Stanhope also puts a bit of money into these projects, but mainly most of her time and all her heart.
We earn money with our online shop and that's our business (different accounts). We also sell books there, where half the profit goes to our charity projects.
So what are these art projects about?
There are different projects and activities.
We started with the paper heart exchange. So we got Berlin school children (yes, we visit German school kids and tell them about our missions) to draw paper hearts for the Syrian kids in Lebanon. And in Lebanon we got the Syrian kids, who received the German paper hearts.
My favourite is the THE LOBILAT ART PROJECT and my current BUCHSTABENKONFETTI PROJECT
(letter confetti project)
Photos say more then words: see here ART
Do you get upset about what you see in the refugee camps.
Yes,
Actually, Miss Stanhope gets heavy hearted and at times depressed. She cries a lot. That's her way of getting things out. Watering her soul for growth. If that makes sense.
When we are in the camps, we are super busy.
Miss Stanhope likes to organize these refugee projects, because then she feels better somehow. Dort forget that Miss Stanhope has been living in Lebanon and Syria. That is why this war is really unbearable for her. Miss Stanhope feels sorry for the children.
Why do you do these "fluffy" missions?
If Miss Stanhope were a doctor, she would do something else. But, all she can do is
to organize these fluffy missions. he prefers that over sitting on her sofa crying.
Also, small tiny projects are better than nothing.
