TV-Aksjonen 2024: A Nation Unites

Published: 2024-10-20

The 50th annual TV-aksjonen in Norway is set to raise nearly 300 million kroner for the Barnekreftforeningen, an organization dedicated to supporting children with cancer.

Despite facing internal challenges, including several whistleblower cases and a shortage of volunteers, the event has garnered significant national support.

Notably, Stortingspresident Masud Gharahkhani participated as a volunteer, highlighting the community's commitment to the cause.

The funds will aid in establishing family houses at major hospitals, providing a haven for families during treatment.

While some critics argue for broader global focus, the initiative remains a testament to Norway's enduring spirit of solidarity and charity.
