Three kings collect money for charity

More than 30 thousand carolers are collecting these days money for charity. The collection called Three Kings’ Collection 2007(Trikralova sbirka 2007) is organized by Charita CR in the whole country. It is the largest voluntary action in the Czech Republic.

The proceeds of this collection will go to charity, especially to ill or disabled people, seniors and mothers with children in need. At least one tenth of the profits will go abroad. Last year the groups of “three kings” collected about 55 million CZK.

How to recognize them? The group consist of three children in costumes of three kings who came to Bethlehem to bring presents to baby Jesus. Each group is accompanied with an adult. They ask for donation into a sealed money-box with a charity logo.
