Yes, they celebrate Valentine's Day in Rwanda! But, thankfully it's not very commercialized at all....just more red and pink decorations in town, sales on the chocolate bars, and many street vendors trying to sell red roses. We had a small "party" in class today, and revealed our "secret friends" that we had been doing kind things for all week...and we made cards for our family and friends. I have to share one of my kids' valentines with you! It made me smile. :-) Weston, a 4th grader, wrote this valentine to his girlfriend, Grace, in 5th grade....
"Some sit and look at Grace,
And think she needs a change of pace.
On Friday, when school is out,
I don't even laugh or give a shout.
My heart is filled with sorrow,
cause I won't be seeing you tomorrow (cause it's Saturday)."
I love you. Weston
I thought it was pretty clever! :-)
Happy Valentine's Day!
