In addition, I would like to thank our contributors for showing great social responsibility through their donations. Without these contributions, we in Ivalo & Minik Fonden would not be able to award grants that, on the one hand, help to fulfill young people’s dreams and at the same time help to ensure Greenland an increasing level of education, a better knowledge of Greenland abroad in the world and strengthen Greenland’s knowledge of the world.
