gudinde Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Here are the four pics from The Mary Foundation site. They are dated 9 June :PPE Agency Thank you Missy. This is not in the official calendar and is one of an example of the crown princess working behind the scenes with her charity organisations. Thanks for the photo link, Missy. I'll add the info here so it's easier to keep track of the off calendar activities: 9 June 2008: At the Mary Foundation Crown Princess Mary helps packing Lego rucksacks supported by The Mary Foundation. The rucksacks sponsored by Lego are for children who are away from their usual surroundings. They contain basic items such as toothbrushes but also toys. These are part of the launch of the Mary Foundation's new focus area on battered women and children. (Launch on 12 June 2008) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayvee Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Have any of our Danish members gone through the official website of The Mary Foundation: http://www.maryfonden.dk/ I am particularly interested in the section 'Om Mary Fonden'. Is there any information on why The Mary Foundation chose a butterfly as its logo? Why butterfly? I know Princess Mary seems to like butterflies - she's worn Marianne Dulong's necklaces and earrings with butterflies, a green chiffon dress with butterflies and a pair of wedges with butterflies. Obviously choosing a butterfly as her logo must mean something more other than the fact that she likes butterflies. Just wondering if this is mentioned on the official site. The Mary Foundation impacts lives of people and hopefully, changes them for the better. Could this be the reason for a butterfly logo? A metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly? This is my best guess but perhaps it says it on the website. Thanks for the help. Best, Ayvee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudinde Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi ayvee The information at the website gives an explanation of the Foundation's butterfly logo, giving it a few different dimensions. Link: The Mary Foundation - Graphic Identity Graphic identity The Foundation's objective is to work at creating hope for those who are socially isolated and feel closed out. ... Green is the colour of hope and the graphic butterfly in the Mary Foundation's logo is formed by two hearts, which hang together, symbolising people who have been united. A successful integration. [The projects are aimed at addressing the plight of some very vulnerable members of Danish society.] A butterfly flickering in the wind seems to be a fragile creature searching for a firm landing place where it can draw nourishment. But at the same time the butterfly is the fine result of a hard struggle, which has ended well. The butterfly therefore is a symbol of positive development that the Foundation intends to support. Even though it is obvious the projects cannot help everybody and will often only be able to give a small push in the right direction, it is the Foundation's hope and objective for each of the projects to highlight prevention and repair of social isolation by promoting tolerance and understanding of disparity, and through that creating hope. A summary from info at http://www.maryfonden.dk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayvee Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Thank you so much for the translation, gudinde! The logo has such a beautiful and touching sentiment and I must admit truly represents the work that The Mary Foundation is doing. Incredible. I do wish the foundation continued success in their endeavors! -Ayvee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 A very tender definition of the butterfly as the symbol but I like the description of two hearts hanging together. Would not have thought the two wings are two hearts..lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
