Efforts are on to vote for the new 7 wonders of the World. The New 7 Wonders website is conducting an election which allows users to vote for their favorite 7 wonders from the list of 21 pre-selected man-made architectures. This website was started by Bernard Weber, a Swiss adventurer for raising money to resurrect the fallen man-made glories. The project was initially fully funded by the founder himself.

Fifty percent of all net revenue raised by the New 7 Wonders Project is to be used to fund restoration efforts worldwide. One such project is the mission to re-create the giant Bamiyan Buddha statue in Afghanistan, which was featured in the Swiss Pavilion along with the New 7 Wonders project at the 2005 World Fair in Japan.

There has been around 45 million votes in the fray so far. I have cast my vote today and I hope to make a difference for our ancestor’s heritage.
