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.

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.
