On Friday, several dozen carol singers brought blessings to Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen and his wife Doris Schmidauer.

The group consisted of carol singers from all over Austria, from Unterwart in Burgenland to Weiler in Vorarlberg. A delegation from South Tyrol was also represented. Federal President Van der Bellen called the carol singing a "wonderful thing" because a lot of good is achieved through it. The focus country of this year's aid campaign is Tanzania.

Gifts for Carol Singers from Federal President Van der Bellen

For the Federal President, this is a good choice, as the East African country is also facing a very difficult situation due to climate change, which is causing crop failures. Van der Bellen also praised the support of projects specifically for women. The carol singers, among whom the queens were clearly in the majority, also had gifts ready for the Federal President. A photo book about "strong Maasai women," child labor-free products, and Three Kings cookies were presented by a delegation from the "Parish of Divine Love" from Vienna-Simmering.
