Ole Henriksen on His Role as Ambassador
"It is a tremendous honor to be asked to become an ambassador for Gadens Børn. I am deeply impressed by the love, energy, and passion that the Gadens Børn team puts into this immensely important work for the children in India. It moves me deeply, and I greatly admire each one of them.
When I was young, I first saw in Indonesia how the thousands of children living on the streets were still full of smiles, energy, and joy for life. I remember being very impressed that, under such difficult conditions, they could still hold onto that joy for life. It inspired me to always be positive, grateful, and to appreciate life every single day.
There is nothing that feels better than helping children, which is one of the reasons I said yes to becoming an ambassador for Gadens Børn. Children are our future, and they all deserve love, care, education, and to feel safe in their daily lives. In this way, they can grow up as happy, loving, and productive people.
Life is a great collaboration. A love project that we as humans must stand together in. We have a responsibility to help, stand up for one another, and contribute to making the world a better place for all of us.
I am truly excited to take on my part of the responsibility and help Gadens Børn raise awareness about the conditions thousands of children live under in Kolkata. Together, with even a few resources, we can completely change the lives of these joyful and hopeful young individuals. I very much look forward to going to India and helping hands-on.
Warmly,
Ole Henriksen"
