Given the current global situation, many feel a strong desire to help those in need. This year&#8217;s Christmas gift from NTNU reflects that desire and goes to Doctors Without Borders. They ensure that medicines, healthcare personnel, and emergency aid reach people affected by war and conflict,&#8221; says acting Rector Tor Grande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Received the most nominations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this  previous month, employees and students were asked to suggest which organization should receive NTNU&#8217;s Christmas gift for 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, over 100 people submitted suggestions, and nearly half of them proposed Doctors Without Borders. Many highlighted the organization&#8217;s humanitarian work in ongoing conflict zones and the presence of personnel on the ground working in challenging areas with a high risk to life and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Doctors Without Borders makes a tremendous effort worldwide by providing assistance to those who need it the most. I hope that this year&#8217;s Christmas gift will support Doctors Without Borders in their important humanitarian work, says Morten Eidsvaag Althe, leader of the Student Parliament.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2013 Invaluable Christmas gift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doctors Without Borders is a medical emergency aid organization with over 60,000 employees involved in projects in more than 70 countries, including Ukraine, South Sudan, and Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They base their work on medical ethics and operate according to the impartial principles of providing healthcare where the need is greatest and to those who need it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013A heartfelt thanks for an invaluable Christmas gift. All of us who witness what is happening in Gaza sometimes feel a bit helpless. With this money, we can purchase medical supplies, medicine, and equipment. It means a lot to us who work at Doctors Without Borders, and it means a lot to the people who are the most affected,&#8221; says Katrin Glatz Brubakk, who received the gift and the news on behalf of Doctors Without Borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doctors Without Borders estimates that there have been approximately 40 fieldworkers with a background from NTNU over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NTNU has a tradition of giving an annual gift to a charitable organization.
