45 Russian school children
waited to board flight to Barcelona.
Is their reward
for doing well at school.
Among them, is 11 year-old
Artur Chammatov
At the start of the school year,
we agreed that if he'v finished with top grades.
Then he could go with the group.
When I came back from work one evening,
he came up to me and showed me his school report card.
And said,' Dad! Look! I kept my word.'
And he looked at me with a question in his eyes.
And i said,'Good!' I've promised he can go.
The children are from Uver, in Central Russia.
They've been delay in Moscow
because they missed their original flight.
The replacement has been charted to take them to Spain.
Also on the flight, has Swetlana Kaloeva and her children,
Konstantin and Diana.
They're visiting their father, who's been working in Spain
for year an a half.
I've spoke to them on phone every day,
which makes my days more easier.
That was hard to not to see my children for such a long time.
Swetlana(Mother) is lucky
to get seats on its back xxx in chartered.
Delays in getting visas meant other flights were also that.
We're finally going to see each other
and we're going to have fun together
The crew completed final preparations.
