Sternsinger bring peace: 85,000 children for a better world on the go!

A special visit to Vienna! The star singers stopped with Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen and his wife Doris Schmidauer. They delivered the New Year's blessing and brought gifts, including a poster with the motto "Stern singing connects people". Van der Bellen praised the tireless efforts of the over 85,000 children and adolescents who are traveling throughout Austria from New Year to the Epiphany. "You walk around, knock, sings and asks for donations, regardless of whether it rains, snow, the sun is shining or is cold," said the Federal President. In the past 71 years, remarkable 540 million euros have been collected for global aid projects, with a record result with 19.5 million euros last year, such as dka.at .
