Danish High School students raise funds for slum

More than 20,000 high school students from all over Denmark took up voluntary work in an effort to raise funds for a Plan International project in Shyampur in southern Dhaka. DKK 5 million or US$ 790.000 is expected to be raised for the project, said the Danish Embassy in Dhaka yesterday, reports UNB.

Every year on the 8th of November, Danish high school students raise funds by taking up different types of work such as selling cookies on the city square, sweeping the neighbour’s house or playing music on the street. The day is called the ‘Dayswork Day’.

A Danish organisation called Operation Dayswork picks a new development project every year from around the world which will receive the funds raised on the Dayswork Day.
