Danish Centenary Peace Gift - 25 Schools in Angola

Posted on March 6, 2008 by Aleš

As a peace gift, the scouts in Denmark were tasked to raise funds for schools in Angola during the year 2007. The aim was 100 schools – or one per local community. It was not all scout units that participated wholeheartedly.

But it was clearly proved that the successful communities were those with a close cooperation between scout groups and local Fellowships. Many individual fellowship members served as mates, bankers and logistic anchors.

We succeeded to raise funds for 25 schools.

    That is a good news, a great sucess story,

    I think an African NSGF should also plan something for an European NSGF

    What about that….

    What? Please continue. I am sure that Africa has a lot to offer Europe.

    I believe that many NSGFs are working on a membership campaign. It is also on the agenda for the Nordic-Baltic Subregion meeting 31. May.
    Probably we should open an “idea-bank” for PR and membership material and ideas.
    Increasing membership with 100 % does not mean that we can make this world 100 % better - but it will help!
