Sustainable Danish Hottie Joins the World Cup

Copenhagen, June 30, 2010 (ots/PRNewswire) - The world's most-travelled
hot dog stand is in South Africa during the FIFA World Cup 2010 to
spread Danish culture and values and to raise money for education of
South African bushmen children.

The Danish hot dog stand, Hottie, has travelled around the world
since 2003. Hottie generates its own electricity with pedal power and
through the solar panels on the roof. More than 20,000 free hot dogs
have been handed out and a number of underfunded aid programmes and
neglected children have been helped in process.

At the World Cup, football matches are organised with local
people where passers-by can get a taste of Denmark in the form of a
hot dog and a chat about Danish culture, sustainability and the
chance to make a difference for others.

The project for South Africa focuses on training the children of
bush people. Bush people are one of the oldest peoples in the world
and want to hold on to their traditions as well as join in the modern
world. Therefore, the final objective of the collection is education
in Cape Town for at least one child and a day care centre in the
Kalahari Desert.

The initiative for the visit to South Africa came from Fanny
Posselt working closely with the Copenhagen Goodwill Ambassador
Corps. One thing the local Danish Goodwill Ambassador in South
Africa, Laura Lykkeggard Selander, has done is to secure an event
platform at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, which is the country's
most popular tourist destination.

Sustainable hot dogs

The Goodwill Ambassador project consists of around 80 Danish
business people all over the worlds, who each in their own way
promotes Denmark globally and attract investment, conferences and
events to the country. The "Polle Polsevogn" hot dog stand is a good
example of this being able to be achieved with an increased focus on
sustainability, and at the same time helping some of the poorest
people in the world.
