De Samenwerkende Hulporganisaties (The Cooperating Aid agencies) in the Netherlands have so far raised 10.6 million euros for Haiti. This was reported on Radio 555. The show began at 6.00 and lasts until 9:00 yesterday evening on tv.
Radio 555 is on Radio 2, 3FM, Radio Netherlands and the four commercial channels aim to collect money for earthquake victims in Haiti.
There was a fundraising for the victims of Haiti on four television channels yesterday evening from 8.30 to 10.00. It was participated by the Prime Minister, politicians, actors and actresses, artists and many more. Viewers can buy thirty seconds air time in which they can dance, rap, magic or whatever.
The amount collected on giro 555 was announced at the end of the program. Minister Koenders of Foreign Affairs doubles the amount. Money that comes after, is not doubled.
A very good initiative of the Dutch government to help other people.
