Thanks, Polyesco, Roskilde & Ricarda. 
The head of the Danish branch of Save the Children, Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen, is an interesting figure.
She was previously an MP and head of the Unity List - the most extreme left wing party in the Parliament. She was a very charismatic leader and while I disagreed very much with everything she stood for (and presumably still believe in) I respected her for her commitment and for being genuine, something not that common among politicians...
She was also a pragmatic in regards to politics, something previous leaders of her party were not. They had a tendency to be more absolute, politically speaking, and as such had very little political influence. But Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen was able and willing to compromise when needed buying her party some political influence.
As head of the Unity List she was in favor of a republic, not because she had anything personal against members of the DRF, she just believed they should be elected. - Some of her predecessors a few decades back would however have been willing to put members of the DRF (among others) up against a wall. They believed in turning DK into a people's republic a la the Soviet Union or China.
Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen had to leave the Parliament and also resign as leader of her party, because the Unity List has a rule about no members sitting in the Parliament for more than three periods (max 12 years). Perhaps not that bad an idea...
Now she is head of Save the Children, and she is no doubt a very dedicated, politically savvy, pragmatic and competent leader.

Crown Prince Frederik as Patron of Save the Children together with the Danish Minister of Development Rasmus Prehn and Save the Children's Secretary-General Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen visited the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan on March 4.
"The visit took place on the occasion of Save the Children Denmark's 75th anniversary and focused on the work to strengthen the mental health and psychosocial well-being of children and young people in humanitarian crises".

"As a patron, I myself have had the opportunity to follow Save the Children's work closely.*Both in Denmark and in the rest of the world.*In Denmark, I have seen how to strengthen children's mental health when children go out into nature and into communities.*Here they meet friends and regain confidence in themselves and the world around them, the Crown Prince said in his speech."

"It deeply touches your heart when you stand with a child you have not met before and with whom you only have a few hours, and then suddenly a small child's hand comes up and touches your own hand.*That trust is such a thing that can touch one very, very strongly, said the Crown Prince straight from the heart and without the use of manuscript."

This is indeed an important topic. Great Crown Prince Frederik focuses on it together with the Danish Red Cross. Our children are growing up in a very digital world and it can have major consequences if pictures of you are uploaded online without your permission.

Also very new to The Royal Forum but surprise to see that your location is showing San Diego CA because I am in CA too.

On Monday afternoon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attended a briefing on Save the Children's work to combat digital violations and abuse of children.
The digitized everyday life of young people increases the risk of minors being exposed to online abuse and abuse, and as Save the Children's patron, the Crown Prince learned about the organisation's work to better protect young people online.
The briefing was attended by Save the Children's general secretary Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen and Save the Children's chairman Niels Lund.
