Grants from the Fund for 2010
Quote:
The board of Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s Humanitarian Fund has decided to give support to a youth venture initiative organised as a joint effort between the Strømme Foundation and the Norwegian Mission Alliance.
Grants from the Fund will be awarded directly to two projects under the initiative: the Strømme Foundation’ Shonglap programme and the Norwegian Mission Alliance’s Jóvenes emprendedores project.
The award ceremony will take place on Monday, 30 August 2010, in connection with a seminar on microfinance and youth entrepreneurship at the University of Agder in Kristiansand.

The Crown Prince Couple will release a Christmas album to raise money for disadvantaged young people.
The Christmas album will be called "We light our lamps" and will be released in November. It was the Crown Prince Couple who approached Universal Music with the idea of a Christmas album under the auspices of the Crown Prince Couple's Fund. The target group is young people who for whatever reason fall outside the system during the transition to adulthood. For this reason, the royal couple strongly desired that younger Norwegian artists will be represented on the album.

King Harald and Queen Sonja have invited 200 young people from the four projects the Crown Prince Couple's Fund works with to a Christmas concert in the Great Hall of the Royal Palace, December 15. The artists are the same who participated in the Christmas album "We light our lanterns"
The concert will be aired on NRK 1 on Saturday December 17.
Yesterday (November 30) Hibba Mohammed Hassan and Daniel from Arbeidsinstituttet Buskerud gave a foretaste of the concert and told about the work being done on Arbeidsinstituttet. They were welcomed at the Palace by the Queen and the Crown Prince Couple to a little 'pre-concert' with the young artists Gunhild Sundsli and Samsaya.

Does anyone know where to get a copy of the new Christmas CD here in the US? I can't find it on iTunes, though the universal music site says it will be available in electronic formats.

My guess is that it is only available in the Norwegian iTunes shop? iTunes - Music - Vi tenner våre lykter by Various Artists I looked around but could only find a site where you can buy the CD in Europe but not in the US, I'm sorry. Maybe somebody else was successful?

Songs from the album can be heard on youtube from when they recorded the songs. They are linked from the facebook-pages of the humanitarian fond of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. You need to make sure you are on their wall; vegg in Norwegian and then just scroll down till you find the video you want to see.

I know the album is available through spotify.

Very good iniciative. I love Christmas concerts 
The photos are wonderful. The phototographer is really talented. And that one of Haakon as a dreamman. If he looked at me that way, I would just feel  in my stomach and melt down straight away....
Two questions about this PIC:
1. Who is it in the portrait? Crown princess Martha?
2. Did anyone notice that that guy close to Mette-Marit is wearing no shoes? I know norwegians take their shoes off when inside, but in the palace with the princes? He seems to take traditions very seriously  Judging by that and is wool sweater (that i love btw) I guess he must be a typical norwegian
Last, I'm curious about the girl with that thing in the eye. Any special reason to use that?

Yes, this is CP Märtha!
Now that you mentioned it I perceived the guy without shoes... Well, may be he wants to be "cool" and demonstrating that he´s relaxed even in royal circles (OMG!)....
