EUROPEAN CHARITY CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
In cooperation with the other European countries Denmark participated for the 15th time in the annual European Christmas Charity Bazaar which this year took place at the Conrad Hotel on December 12. The bazaar is the biggest of its kind in Cairo and attracts thousands of people, both Egyptians and foreigners.
In a joint donation from all participating countries 440.000 Egyptian Pounds (around 400.000 DKK) was given in 2008 to charities that includes projects supporting children living under poor conditions – disabled and homeless children that does not usually benefit from the international aid.
It is the hope that an even bigger amount will be given this year.
In the true spirit of the holiday season and with assistance from many staff members and other volounteers Denmark mobilised the largest stand showing off a big variety of Danish products from most of the well known producers of Danish quality items. The sale went great and as in previous years we had almost sold out by noon time.
The Embassy would like to thank all visitors and donors to the bazaar for their support.
A special thank you goes to Novo Nordisk, Egypt for their generous support.
