Visit to Vollsmose

29 August 2006

Crown princess Mary and her lady-in-waiting, Caroline Heering, made a visit to Vollsmose, a suburb of Odense with a large immigrant and refugee community. Vollsmose has often had a crime related connotation.

 Mary wanted to get the know the everyday life in Vollsmose on a weekday. She was given a tour with visits to a school, a day care center and a women's job project. Then she had lunch at the home of a Palestinian family.

The day ended with a reception visited by both the crown princess and a delegation of immigrant locals.
