Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be patrons of this year’s telethon, for the Norwegian Red Cross and their efforts to help victims of war and and other conflicts. TV-aksjonen is an annual national Norwegian fund raising event for various charity purposes which has been arranged since 1974. The money from the Telethon will go to Red Cross work in nine countries: Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Myanmar, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The money also will be used in helping refugees who have come to Norway. |
