Danish Crown Princess Mary released a video giving information about the Mary Foundation’s activities and its backpacks sent to children's shelters. By the aid event organized every year, various materials packed in backpacks are sent to crisis centers in Denmark and people in need living in shelters.
In the video, Crown Princess Mary said "According to a survey conducted by Epinion for the Mary Foundation, nearly 2,000 children come to shelters each year, and many of them come to shelters without their toys, clothes and other belongings. Together with LOKK - National Organization of Women's Shelters and Ole Kirk's Foundation, we distribute backpacks to children to cover practical needs, but the backpacks are also used as a pedagogical tool by the staff at the shelters. The backpacks prepared this week will be sent to shelters in Denmrak, Greenland and the Faroe Islands."
