A Night of Thousand Dinners

On the 3rd of November, Julia and I went to a dinner for 180SEK at the Malmö. Quite much but it was not the food that counted but the gesture. Organized by the local student group of roj en mina or no more landmines it was part of the 'night of a thousand dinners' where people all over Europe ate to help non profit organizations with their projects. We ate to clear minefields in Kambodia.
Besides the delicious food, the ambassador in Sweden for 'roj en mina' Maja Gullstrand played very nice Jazz music and a dance act of 5 students from Lund showed us their interpretation of the winning song of the European Song Contest 2004, i forgot the title but it was very funny.
Facts:
  • 70 million landmines lie in the ground worldwide
  • almost 20000 people die of landmines each year
  • more than 40% are children
  • 9 of 10 are civilians
