Three Kings Charity Collection kicks off nationwide

The Three Kings Collection, the country’s largest and oldest charity fundraising campaign, kicks off nationwide on January 1st. Groups of carolers, many of them children, dressed as the Three Kings go from door to door in  towns and villages, offering blessings and collecting donations for people in need. Proceeds from the collection are used to support social services and charitable projects run by the Caritas Czech Republic network. Ten percent of the funds raised will be allocated to assistance for the poorest communities abroad. Czech Radio has long supported the Three Kings Collection through its broadcasting and through the direct involvement of its staff.
