Operation Day’s Work (OD) has been an active organisation since 1964, and it is an organisation of, with, and for young people, meaning that the ones who organise OD, the ones who work and the ones who get help through the projects, are all young people. Every year OD has a different project, but they always focus on education and a better future for young people. OD also has an extra focus on girls, since girls in developing countries most often stand even weaker than the boys. On the OD Day about 20,000 young students aged 13-19 give a day of their education to people at the same age in other countries. They work and earn 200 or 300 NOK (depending on their age). NO STUDENTS ARE FORCED TO WORK, and the point is that they work, give something of themselves, to help less privileged young people, rather than to just “send” some money. We respect the people involved in the project as equals, and we practice solidarity, not charity. In the entire organisation only 3 people are paid for their work, this is the leader and two other persons who control that the money are used as they should. Under 15% of the money the people who work on the OD-day earn is used by the organisation. These are used to promote OD through producing an OD movie, information, magazines for the participants, posters etc, and to pay the 3 people who get paid.
