It is amazing that a country of 16 mill people can raise 22 Euromill ($26mill) personally - that is more than some countries offered to contribute to AID relief over a five year period (and are still fussing over that!).
My own home country can't to that with a population of about 60 mill, but there are moves to get the ball rolling - let's hope it's not all talk.
It's ironic the folks that give least are those who actually talk about it more than anyone and make claims of being the world's benefactors. :-)
Full cred to the people and govt of Denmark!
