Kristine on Her Role as an Ambassador

From Coincidence to Heart Project: My Journey with Gadens Børn

“My encounter with Pia and Gadens Børn happened by pure chance. A phone call from a customer wanting to donate t-shirts led to my first contact with Pia and her work with Gadens Børn.

From that moment, I was deeply touched by both Pia's personal story and her unwavering commitment to creating a better future for the children in Kolkata. Her love for these children and her persistent fight to provide them with a dignified life made a significant impression on me.

In 2023, I visited Pia in Kolkata and witnessed firsthand the tremendous difference she and the dedicated staff of Gadens Børn make for so many vulnerable children. It put things into perspective for me, and I decided to engage further.

As an ambassador for Gadens Børn, I will do my best to support the organization through proactive fundraising and talks—both as an individual and through MSCH Copenhagen, which also supports Gadens Børn. The story behind Gadens Børn is deeply inspiring, and Pia's passion has truly touched my heart. I am deeply impressed by her courage, determination, and dedication to creating hope and opportunities for children who otherwise would have none. She has established schools, maternity homes, and health clinics that save lives every single day.

My motivation to support Gadens Børn lies in the enormous work that Pia and her team do. They work to create a better future for the children who need it most. Their commitment is a reminder that we can all make a difference. I am a proud ambassador and grateful to be a part of this important work.”
