Three Kings charity collection kicks off around Czechia

The start of the New Year has kicked off the largest and most successful fund-raiser in the country. The Three Kings Collection, organized by the Catholic charity Caritas, involves thousands of volunteers, most of them children, taking to the streets dressed as the Three Wise Men, singing carols and asking people to donate money to charity. Last year the collection raised a record 176 million crowns, the highest sum it has raised in any single year. For information on how to donate go to www.trikralovasbirka.cz.
