Liberation Weekend, here in Kuwait, is HUGE!!!!!! The people are very proud of the fact that they are Kuwaiti. Shortly after the beginning of January, big displays of clothing, sporting the Kuwaiti colours began to appear. You could buy shirts, dresses from baby to adult size, skirts, hats, socks, scarves and just about everything else. Some parents have special outfits created for their children to wear. I must admit that I couldn't believe how beautiful some of the dresses were.Vehicles and houses were decorated with Kuwaiti colours and/or the Kuwait flag. Personally, I think a lot of countries could take a page out of the Kuwait book on being proud of your country and showing it.
At school, on February 23, the elementary school had a celebration in honour of Liberation Day. Part of this celebration included a gathering of the students, from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 5, in the central tennis court area. I hope you enjoy these glimpses of the students dressed in honour of the day.
