Sculpture Ville Vallgren himself simply called the work Merenneito (English: The Mermaid), but it quickly started to get additional nicknames. The Finland-Swedish newspapers dubbed it Havis Amanda and the Finnish Haaviston Manta or simply Manta. Havis Amanda is the common name used in brochures and travel guides.
Every year on Vappu, Manta serves as a centrepiece for the celebrations. Students of the local universities put a cap on the statue in an elaborate ceremony. For many it is a "must see" event.
I am enjoing my hometown Helsinki.
My husband Boas and I are helping children in Ukraine.
It all started when my husband and I saw wild dogs taking care of the street children.
A question came: "Do these dogs care more for the children than people do?"
We moved to Ukraine and opened a "Friend's House" - a house with open doors for children, helping children in need, underage mothers ...
Photo is a powerful instrument to tell the story.
It's a critical time in Ukraine right now. The war is continuing now from the year 2014. 24th of February 2022 changed everything and a full-scale war started.
We continue the work in Ukraine, even though we cannot be there right now. We rescued 40 children & mothers to Sweden.
With love to God and the children!
