On Tuesday this week His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway started his two-day virtual visit to San Francisco, California. The trip is Norway’s first major virtual visit abroad where the public get the opportunity to follow the official visit digitally. The Norwegian participants were in a studio in Oslo, and the Americans in a studio in San Francisco. However, for those who watched the conference from the screen, it still looked as if the participants were in the same room. After a welcome greeting from California Governor Gavin Newsom and a greeting from Norway’s Ambassador to the United States, Anniken Krutnes, it was time for the visit’s first discussion.

Jason soon found an opportunity to volunteer with Andrew doing projects. It was with him that Jason saw the amazing transformation a hearing aid could have on a person’s life, especially a child’s.
