Operation Day's
Work (ODW) of Norway is a Students Organisation in Norway working
on the student’s rights. One of its major programmes is to
support educational projects in Third World countries, where education
opportunities are less and weak. A nationwide fundraiser is held
in October by the high school students in Norway. The students voluntarily
engage in one day’s labour work and the earnings are pooled
to be used for the chosen cause.. |
