Fostering Hope Through Service
his spring saw the release of a new
documentary fi lm, " Generation
Utøya. " Four survivors of the 2011 Oslo
terror attacks recount their experiences,
discuss how they cope and tell why they
chose careers in public service. One
survivor has become the leader of her
political party, and another serves as deputy mayor of Oslo. While
their lives have been indelibly marred by tragedy, they have reclaimed
their voices and are using them to prevent others from suffering a
similar fate.
Over the past decade, the Norwegian public has weighed how
best to memorialize the victims of July 22, 2011. Several models
and locations for sculptures have been proposed, hotly debated and
eventually scrapped. Finally, a memorial installation is on track to be
completed just in time for the 10th anniversary. Seventy-seven bronze
columns will be put up at the landing near Utøya, each representing a
person who perished that day.
To establish a new narrative, a training center has been constructed
on Utøya to promote democracy, tolerance and human rights.
Teachers, students and youth leaders visit from around the world to
learn about and disseminate alternatives to hate speech.
" Generation Utøya " does not dwell on the past but aims to inspire
hope and optimism, especially in young people. Survivor Ina Libak
says " July 22nd will forever remain a part of our history. We will
never give up the fi ght for our ideas. "
Our lodges are always refl ecting on how to serve and lift up their
communities. Through the Helping Hands to Children Grant, the Sons
of Norway Foundation supports lodges that foster youth programs
and fund their goals.
2020 grant recipient Roald Amundsen Lodge 6-048 of Sacramento,
California, supports homeless youth with basic needs and more. In
addition to hosting a dinner for the underserved students, the lodge
provides them with backpacks, school supplies, and covers testing fees
and graduation gowns.
Another service project teaches gardening skills to help offset food
insecurity. Growing Our Bodies Through Gardening is an elementary
school program that Vikings of Lake 6-166 in Kelseyville, California,
has revitalized through a foundation grant and matching funds from
their own fundraising efforts.
Other lodges have obtained grants to support educational
goals, such as Heim 4-178 purchasing books for area schools and
contributing extra bake sale funds, as well as Mollargutten 4-478
working with local teachers to subsidize essential learning software.
Through these acts of service, we not only lift up those around us
but raise our own spirits in the process.

I
vår var det premiere på den nye dokumentarfi lmen
" Generasjon Utøya. " Fire overlevende fra
terrorangrepene i Oslo i 2011 beskriver sine erfaringer,
diskuterer hvordan de kom seg gjennom det, og forteller
hvorfor de valgte en karriere i offentlig tjeneste. En
overlevende har blitt leder for sitt politiske parti, og en
annen fungerer som varaordfører i Oslo. Selv om livene
deres har for alltid blitt påvirket av tragedien, har de
gjenvunnet sine stemmer og bruker dem slik at andre kan
unngå å lide en lignende skjebne.
I løpet av det siste tiåret har det norske folket diskutert
hvordan man kan hedre minnene fra 22. juli 2011 ofrene
på best mulig måte. Flere modeller og plasseringer av
minnesmerker har blitt foreslått, debattert iherdig, og
til slutt avvist. Men nå er endelig opprettelsen av et
minnesmerke iferd med å bli ferdig før 10-årsmarkeringen.
Syttisju bronsesøyler skal plasseres ved kaia nær Utøya, og
hver søyle skal representere et menneske som mistet livet
den dagen.
For å etablere en ny fremføring av historien, har det blitt
bygget et nytt undervisningssenter på Utøya for å fremme
demokrati, toleranse og menneskerettigheter. Lærere,
studenter og ungdomsledere kommer på besøk fra hele
verden for å lære om og spre alternativer til hatytringer.
" Generasjon Utøya " dveler ikke ved fortiden, men tar
sikte på å inspirere til håp og optimisme, spesielt blant
unge mennesker. Overlevende Ina Libak sier: " 22. juli vil
alltid være en del av vår historie. Vi vil aldri gi opp kampen
for ideene våre. "
Våre lodger refl ekterer alltid over hvordan de kan tjene
andre og løfte opp sine lokale samfunn. Gjennom stønad
fra Helping Hands to Children, støtter Sons of Norway
Foundation lodger som fremmer ungdomstiltak og bidrar
til fi nansiering av slike formål.
2020-stipendmottaker Roald Amundsen Lodge 6-048 i
Sacramento, California, støtter hjemløse ungdommer med
fundamentale behov og andre nødvendigheter. I tillegg
til å være middagsvertskap for studenter i nød donerer
lodgen ryggsekker og skoleutstyr, og dekker kostnader for
prøver og eksamensklær.
Et annet serviceprosjekt utfører opplæring i hagearbeid
for å kompensere for usikker tilgang til mat. Growing Our
Bodies Through Gardening er et grunnskoleprogram som
Vikings of Lake 6-166 i Kelseyville, California, har revitalisert
gjennom et stiftelsesstipend og matchende midler fra egen
innsamlingsinnsats.
Andre lodger har mottatt tilskudd for å støtte
undervisningsformål, som for eksempel Heim 4-178 som
bruker midlene til å kjøpe bøker til skoler i området, og
bidrar ekstra midler til bakesalg, samt Mollargutten 4-478
som jobber med lokale lærere for å subsidiere viktige
programvarer som brukes i undervisningen.
Gjennom denne tjenesteinnsatsen løfter vi ikke bare de
rundt oss, men hever også vår egen ånd på samme tid.
