20.000 people took to the streets with great enthusiasm, collection box in hand, 4000 of which were young people and children.
"Financial crisis or not, todays collection shows that if the financial crisis has any influence at all it might be, that it gives the Danes a feeling of solidarity with the people who are suffering the most," says the General Secretary of DanChurchAid Henrik Stubkjær.
The money from this year's Parish Collection will be used in the fight against hunger, which more than one billion people in the world's poorest countries suffer from.
