Viking Splash with To Russia With Love





We had five very special visitors this week – Koyla, Nastya, Lena, Ira and Sascha (whom Anya is based on) from the Hortolova orphanage in Russia.

The children were brought to Ireland by To Russia With Love via a very generous sponsor who gave them a fun-filled two weeks in Galway.

Before the kids departed back to Russia, Anya writer/director Damien O’Connor, his son Eli and Anya producer Edel Byrne were fortunate enough to spend an afternoon with them and what better way to show them Dublin then via an ever excellent Viking Splash Tour –

Sascha, Ira, Sacha, Koyla, Nastya, Edel, Eli

Better still, when Viking Splash heard we were bringing some kids from the orphanage along they immediately offered complimentary tickets for all resulting in a nice donation back to To Russia With Love.

So we wanted to say thank you to Splash Tours and everyone else on the day for showing the kids a great time!
