A Danish volunteer, Haakon Nederland, travelled 85 years ago to Liechtenstein in order to join the international volunteer service after the severe floods. The exhibition describes his impressions with letters and photos which he sent to his parents. Haakon was convinced that such volunteer services could contribute to peace and international understanding and promoted it in Denmark in 1945.


In September 1927 a flood in the Rhine valley devastated big parts of Liechtenstein. The SCI committee initated an international appeal for a relief project in order to clean up the devastated agricultural area. More than 700 volunteers from more than 20 countries came to help.In June the National Museum of Liechtenstein shows a special exhibition about this relief project.
