MARY FOUNDATION SUPPORTS WOMEN'S RIGHTS ORGANIZATION IN MOZAMBIQUE
Translated statement

In connection with the donation says Crown Princess:
"It can be hard when you live in a country like Denmark, where we mostly take equality for granted, to understand the conditions of women in Mozambique live in - it's a completely different and harsh reality. It is a long struggle to foster acceptance and respect for women's rights in the country. Fórum Mulher have fought for 20 years and I was impressed with their work and results. They have managed to bring together the many dedicated organizations and provide them with one strong voice, and that's what it takes. It is my hope that this donation will strengthen the work for a better, safer and fairer life for the many women in Mozambique ".

Summary of article in Billed Bladet #4, 2013.
De har et særligt forhold - They have a special relationship.
Written by Marianne Singer.

As we all know by now, Mary attended the 60th jubilee of the Danish Twin Registry and that took place at Southern Danish University in Odense. (*)
Here 150 sets of twins were invited in the age from eighteen to 90 years old. The twins were seated in rows at the auditorium, next to each other and many wearing matching clothes and matching ways to gesticulate. - It must have been an interesting sight....
Well inside, Mary and the others listened for an hour and a half about the research results the Danish Registry has been the basis for.

Mary said afterwards: "I have been surprised as to how wide the research is and how big a significance it has been for everything - from schizophrenic (**), heart deseases and diabetis".

It can get demanding to have twins: "It's lovely! Of course it can get a bit hectic, when there are two of the same age. But it's an enormous priviledge to see how the two little ones develope and the special relationship they have together"

Do they already have a special connection with each other?
Mary smiled: "Yes, you experience that clearly. They have many similarities but being fraternal they also have many differencies. They have a special relationship and it's a gift to wittness".

Will they stick together in thick and thin?
Mary laughed heartily: "I'm sure they will".

About being patron for the Danish and Australien twin registries: "I'm incredibly pleased to be patron and to learn much more about this subject today. That makes me very proud, because the register is a huge contribution and because the knowledge that comes with such a registry has so big a significance for the whole science within health".

Will Vincent and Josephine one day end up in the registry? Mary: "Perhaps".

We are also informed that the earrings Mary wore are from Ole Lynggaard. They are in the shape of a leave in 18 carats gold with 46 brilliants and a big tear shaped cut gem.

(*) Southern Danish University, for which our Marie is patron, is unique among the Danish universities in not having a home town. Instead the various departments are spread out over several towns and cities in the southern part of Denmark.

(**) That word is hard enough to spell in Danish, in English it's a downright challenge!

A funny little note: Halfway in the speech Mary wishes all welcome and says she hopes they will find some time to experience a little bit of Denmark. She then reveals that spring is her favorite season of the year ... then she smiles and adds .. but we are not so lucky today. And she is absolutely right, it rained from morning to evening yesterday and we got as much rain on that one day that we usually tend to get in an entire month

thanks for the lovely news about her.

Thanks, Roskilde

You bet! We had 61 mm over here that day. We almost swam home from work.

A worthy cause that deserves attention.

Oh, probably that the torch actually did light up as on cue.

They will indeed experience Nordic nights. Dusk is setting in at 22.30 at this time of year. It will be dark only a little before 23.00.

ADDED: In case anyone should be wondering, the tune the drummers and fifers from the Tivoli Guard is playing is: København = Copenhagen.

you met the challenge well with the most difficult word in your list: 'schizophrenia' is the name of the disease and a 'schizophrenic' is someone who suffers from this terrible condition. 'Disease' and 'diabetes' are two words that no one likes so don't worry about them. Thank you as always for the translation

Yes, Mary asks the light in the torch to turn on and in the same second.. it turns on. . You know, our Crown Princess is clever and can many things and to conjure is one of them
