"Račići" performed in Lovran
On Saturday, December 13, the day of St. Lucia, the youngest Czech Beseda Rijeka dance group "Račići" gave a half-hour long performance called "Christmas story" at the home for parentless children "Ivana Brlić Mažuranić" in Lovran. The children, living in beautiful surrounding and well taken care for by their teachers, loved the program and applauded the elves, snow drops, and other program participants. They watched the Christmas-environmental story written for "Račići" by their coach Vladimira Marinković. The children showed their dancing, singing, story telling and acting talents. The Lovran institution is home to children between ages 3 and 15, who we came to love immediately because of their straightforwardness and good behavior.
After the program, little visitors were treated to cake and juices. In return, they gave the home children Christmas presents, toys and candy. The children were thrilled to receive the presents, and divided them amongst themselves fairly and without any interventions from their teachers. As "Račići" went to change from their costumes, the home children prepared for the trip to Viškovo where they would participate in one of many Christmas programs. "Račići" invited their new friends to come and visit them in our new Czech Home next year, after the heating system is installed.
