Massive support to help Roona Begum: This April a 20 year old woman from Oslo, Nathalie Krantz, started a fund raising in order to give Roona Begum (18 months) from India a life saving operation. Roona is suffering from hydrocephalus, a highly dangerous disease which leads to a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid inside the skull. Miss Krantz was able to raise over 320 000 NOK from young people all over the world. The money has been used to give Roona professional treatment. The Roona Begum fund raising project had a world-wide support and news coverage in over 200 news papers e.g. Huffington Post, The Sun, DailyMail, ABC News, Herald Sun og La Presse. Miss Krantz initially aimed at raising 10 000 NOK, but in only two hours the charity had received 25 000 NOK and after 30 days the total amount exceeded 320 000 NOK.
