2,062 km for the benefit of the Horn of Africa

Corporate social responsibility is an important part of the values of Arctic Group – we call it We Care.  Therefore Arctic Import recently supported the Red Cross’ appeal for the drought catastrophe in the Horn of Africa. It happened through the yearly sports day at GU in Nuuk. This year, the event was changed into a charity event for the benefit of Africa.

August 26, students and teachers ran as many turns as possible in 2 hours at a 1 km route.

For the arrangement, GU Nuuk applied for sponsorships where sponsors could give a chosen amount of money per km. Arctic Import decided to sponsor 0.50 DKK per km.

Making up the run showed that students and teachers ran 2,062 km in total. One boy distinguished himself by running the route 16 times – meaning 16 km in two hours.
