The goal of Min Stora Dag, (My Big Day), is to grant wishes to critically ill children (3-18yrs) who are suffering from life-threatening diseases. The foundation’s work is unique as each child is actively involved in planning his or her own wish. In addition, the foundation makes it possible for smaller groups of children to attend pop concerts, circus-shows, motor-shows and other special events. They also arrange camps which include sailing and other sporting activities.

Victoria and Daniel met on November 2012 two young people who had wanted to meet them My Big Day foundation, so this wasn't the first time for Victoria

Victoria always appears very pleasant, and she seems a very down-to-earth royal comfortably mixing with whoever. I wish all royals were like that. :)

Governor Lars Bäckström hosted a dinner in honour of Victoria at his residence in Mariestad. The governor told in his speech that Victoria had informed them that she wanted to know more about her duchy Västergötland. Mariestads municipal commissioner Johan Abrahamsson was one of the guests. He said that for him it's a boyhood dream come true, he really likes the royal family and has Victoria and Daniel's wedding card on the wall at home. It's an exciting mix of people, he thinks it will be a great evening. Also the speaker of the Riksdag Urban Ahlin was among the guests.

Victoria visited today Jula's head office and central warehouse in Skara. The director of the Jula corporation Karl-Johan Blank with family showed Victoria around. Mattias Holmén, a truck driver from Lidköping, was one of the few employees who were given the opportunity for a quick contact with Crown Princess Victoria. It resulted in no more than a "hello", but seemed to still give a positive feeling.
- It's positive to showcase Jula with the expansion of the company and the visions that we have here. That should be good for the whole Skaraborg. Then it's good that she is interested in what happens at the company and that she doesn't just visit big cities, said Holmén.

Like I wrote earlier in this thread (and the Royalista article tells), Victoria wore the Swedish Women's Voluntary Defence Organization's (Lottakåren) festive uniform. She is the patron of the organisation and attended at it's 90th anniversary celebration. The Organization is Sweden's largest defence organisation open only to women. And like you see at the photos, Victoria took her beret off before the event started.

Victoria attends today at the Future Forum at the Hanasaari Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre in Espoo in Finland. The prime minister of Finland, Alexander Stubb, speaks at the forum.

14-year old girls Pinja Raij, Pipsa Nurmi and Sade Rastenberg told that Victoria has been their idol and role model for many years and now when they had chance to meet her, they came to Hanasaari. They had a chocolate box and a letter in swedish for Victoria. They had made a plaque so that Victoria would notice them. Victoria said: "Oh, thank you, how sweet of you. I love your sign. Is this for me too? Thank you so much for coming here. It was so nice to meet you",
The three girls had tears in their eyes: "We just couldn't get words out, we weren't able to tell her everything we wanted".

Victoria wore the Eugenia-dress from finnish brand Ril's. Ril's chief designer Birgitta Sanning was filled with pride when she saw how Victoria was dressed.
- Dress shines on Victoria. I can honestly say that Ril's is one of Victoria's favourite brands. This Eugenia dress is one of my favorites. Also a full-length evening gown has been done from the same material. I could not come up with a more representative person for my designs as the always magnificent Victoria, Birgitta Sanning said.

Victoria said at her speech that there is a deep connection between Finland and Sweden, but one should not take that for granted. The cooperation must continue from generation to another. With personal meetings the two countries get even closer eachother and get stronger.
