According to Xinhua News Agency, the government of Mecklenburg, formerly Pomery, in northeastern Germany, said on the 22nd that a specially designed beach chair used by the leaders of the Group of Eight during their summit here earlier this month will be auctioned off, and the proceeds will be used for children's charity. From the 6th to the 8th, the G8 summit was held in the small coastal town of Heiligendamm in Mecklenburg, former Pomori Oblast. During this period, leaders of the eight countries, including US President Bush and German Chancellor Merkel, sat on this specially designed beach chair and took photos together. This specially designed beach chair is based on a traditional German beach chair, but it is larger in size. Its seat cushion, backrest, and ceiling are blue and white in color, and the ceiling is also printed with the flags of the Eight Nations and the European Union. German newspaper Bild reported that bidders can participate in the bidding by sending an email before July 9th. The proceeds will be handed over to the children's charity organization "One Heart for Children" established by Bild. The organization aims to help impoverished children in Germany and support some charitable organizations abroad. |
