King Haakon walks through the streets with a donation box

King Håkon received an enthusiastic send-off after his visit to the town of Kvitsøy. The 53-year-old took part in the annual TV-Aksjonen fundraising campaign on Sunday. The campaign is organised by the NRK Broadcasting Corporation. On the day of the campaign, volunteers knock on about 2.5 million doors throughout Norway. Based on the number of volunteers and the amount of money collected per capita, It is said to be the largest fundraising campaign in the world. In Kvitsøy, Håkon walked through the streets with a donation box, accompanied by two volunteers. In photos shared by the royal house on Instagram, the monarch can be seen talking with residents. This year's proceeds will benefit the Norwegian Refugee Council, which supports refugees.
