Queen Sonja visited the aid organization Caritas to receive information about the work Caritas is carrying out in Ukraine, neighboring countries and in Norway for the refugees. During the visit, the Queen met with Ukranian refugees who had to flee their homes. The refugees shared their stories and also told how they now feel in Norway.
Caritas Norway was founded in 1952 as Norsk katolsk flyktninghjelp (Norwegian Catholic Help for Refugees) by the Catholic Church in Norway. In 1964 its current name was adopted. Today Caritas Norway is run as an independent humanitarian foundation.
How wonderful QS looks in this soft lavender coloured jacket; totally dressed for the occasion.

Faisant preuve d'empathie peu importe les occasions, la reine est toujours bien vêtue et coiffée ; j'adore la douceur lavande de sa veste !
ReplyDeleteUna regina amorevole, mi piace molto perché nella sua autorevolezza sa essere vicina alla gente con calore e dolcezza.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen is lovely. I can't imagine how these children feel, out of physical danger, but at a loss as to what is happening in their homeland. Sweet children; God bless them and their families.
ReplyDeleteOn my screen the jacket does not look lavender but light blue. But it is a very lovely jacket. She is a real grand-mother for the children, I love how she sits down on the table to help them with their drawings.
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely Queen, dressed for the occation.
ReplyDeleteLovely lady, in a beautiful shade of blue jacket. The last photo is especially sweet.
ReplyDeleteI cannot begin to imagine what these children have gone through, yet they are ready with lovely smiles and inviting the Queen to see what they are doing.
Oh, this is so adorable. The warmth and empathy the Queen brought to this visit, must have been wonderful for the children. The Queen sitting with the children at their level, marvellous. She looks well dressed for this visit. I love her jacket, the colour is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love her look of sincerity which goes over and above "fashion" in a situation like this. And as @ Julia said "the last photo is so sweet".
ReplyDeleteThe interaction is just lovely to see. Those poor children, I hope they felt special meeting the queen. J
