Touching words from Prince Harry, 35, to the charity "The Halo Trust", which has also supported his mother Princess Diana, † 36. The British Royal wrote to the organization's staff in a letter thanking them for their work during the Corona pandemic.
Prince Harry: Thanks to the charity
The Halo Trust removes landmines in countries such as Afghanistan and Somalia. In the fight against the corona virus, the organization also supports Myanmar, Zimbabwe and Syria with medical care and disinfectants. And for this effort, Prince Harry thanked all employees in a letter that the organization published on Tuesday (May 26). In it, Princess Diana's son writes: "When the countries closed their borders, blockages came into force and international travel became more difficult, many might have decided to stop operating. Instead," HALO "was active in all 25 countries."
Harry expressed special thanks to the 8,500 employees for their tireless efforts: "In times like these, the work and efforts of people like them who are willing to do anything to help, serve and protect others stand out. In sometimes dangerous situations, their commitment to the communities and people who need their help is remarkable. I am very proud to be able to support such an exceptional organization. "
In the footsteps of Princess Diana
It was only in September last year that Prince Harry, along with Duchess Meghan, 38, visited the location of "The Halo Trust" in Angola during their trip to Africa. There he looked at the place that was built on the minefield that his mother Diana had crossed in 1997. "It's pretty emotional to track my mother's footsteps along this road 22 years ago," said Prince William's brother, 37, at the time. This was Harry's third visit to an area supported by The Halo Trust.
