Children’s Day for the Tachov Children’s Home

On Saturday 1st June 2013 we invited the children from our children’s home to Prague. Despite the unpleasant weather, we went sightseeing in the centre of our historic capital. We really enjoyed seeing Prague castle and bravely made our way through the hordes of tourists on Charles Bridge and in Old Town Square. At Kolowrat Palace the children had lunch and it was there that they eagerly awaited their surprise.

Apart from meeting the members of the Board of Directors of the Kolowrat Foundation named Kolowrátek, the children met a finalist from the hit TV talent show Superstar: Jan Bendig. After taking a tour of the renaissance palace they were treated to a spur-of-the-moment concert in the attic of the Kolowrat Theatre. There followed a trip to the Technical Museum in Letná.

The day-trippers ended the evening in the National Theatre. After a backstage tour of the first stage and a group photo at the foundation stone, they were treated, along with the rest of the audience, to Antonín Dvořák’s opera Jakobín.

Transport from Tachov was provided by Česmad Bohemia – thank you!
Pizza was provided by the restaurant Locanda Marino – thank you!
