AK TUELT

We found ourselves in a situation with

free time on our hands, and a vacant bus.

Then, our driver, Tom Are, suggested we

should drive the bus to Poland to help refugees

get to Norway.

After swapping out the beds on board for

regular seats, we were all set to go.

This felt like the right thing to do!

Prior to this, we initiated a fundraiser

called “musikk-spleis for Ukraina”, currently

counting 140000,- NOK. The 28th

of April, we’re also arranging a solidarity

concert at Folken in Stavanger, called

“Glory to the heroes”, with several of the

best artists in Rogaland. All of the ticket

sales will go directly to Flyktningehjelpen.

(refugee help organization)

Did everyone immediately agree from

the start? Were any of you hesitant?

Yes. Everyone thought it was a really

good initiative. It feels good to channel

our energy towards something constructive.

I think the vast majority of people

watching this situation are thinking about

what they can do to help. We are

using our means to assist refugees from

war, and we hope it will inspire others to

support the case.

We have a platform, and we think it’s

good to use our position to inspire others.
