Celebrating Friend's Day: Spreading Joy and Making 30 New Friends in Pärnu! ❤️
Our winter holiday camp kids spent an unforgettable Friend's Day crafting handmade cards and sharing them with locals across Pärnu. Supported by the Pärnu City Government, we spread smiles in local shops and on the streets, successfully making 30 new Estonian friends!
Friend's Day with friends is never boring! As part of our children's winter holiday camp, organized with the financial support of the Pärnu City Government (Pärnu Linnavalitsus), we spent a wonderful day crafting handmade friendship cards. Because some of our Estonian friends couldn't join us indoors, we decided to head out into the city to find people we could share a little happiness with.
Together with the children, we visited a local supermarket, a second-hand clothing store, and a sewing shop. We handed out our cards and brought genuine smiles to cashiers and passersby. While Estonians can sometimes be a bit reserved, 99% of the people we met were absolutely thrilled, warmly thanked the children, and happily took photos with them. It was a deeply heartwarming experience, and we are incredibly proud to say we found 30 new Estonian friends that day! Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their warmth.
