I would like to again say a sincere thank you to everyone who helped me fundraise for my trip to Belarus. It was an amazing experience, one which I will never forget. It was a very busy week, we had long days and we were constantly on the move. We were split into groups each day and each group worked in a different part of the orphanage: the music therapy cabin, the gym or the therapy room. As it was Orthodox Christmas during our trip, we dressed up in Santa hats on Christmas Day to entertain the children. We also put on concerts for the residents in other institutions, which you can view clips from in the video below. My time in Belarus was extremely rewarding and one which I hope to repeat again in the future – Miriam O’Sullivan

In Brian Sullivan’s Mal Paso Pub in Millstreet a cheque presentation was made
To the Canon O Donovan Centre such kindness from the memory will not fade
From The Boeing New Year Swim close to four thousand euros this is not bad at all
In anyone’s language of money such an amount is not small
The organizers and sponsors and swimmers of the Boeing New Year Swim of themselves can feel proud
Of the praises of their achievements we ought to sing loud
To swim in the Blackwater in the depths of Winter seems quite daunting to me
That these are quite noble people would you not agree?
