Young Life in Freetown | Valentine's Day is here again

Every year, we celebrate Valentine's Day with people we love and care for. This year is no different. In Freetown, some schoolgirls picked Valentine's day gifts at school to give to friends and loved ones. Many young people had plans to go out with their pals and best mates. A few of them told me how they're spending Valentine’s Day.


Esther Penyikie is spending Valentine's day with her boyfriend, Charlie, who she met last week. She said she chose Charlie as her Valentine because she knows he would make her day special. They went to dinner at the Hilltop Fast Food restaurant.








 Abigail Smith decided to spend Valentine’s Day with her friend, Isha Bah (in blue Al-Amira). Abigail said that Isha is a true friend. They went on a school picnic during the day to celebrate their friendship.

Adama Gbla said she's staying home. She has no Valentine so she is not going out. "I always find peace and comfort at home," she said.








Nassiru Kabba's Valentine is Elizabeth. They've been in a relationship for a while and today they're celebrating their love in the neighborhood.

Badara Sesay (in check shirt) and Tamba Cole said they’d be hitting the clubs for a special celebration. Both hope to find a Valentine to rock with for the night.







Issa Turay and Desmond Fofanah are best of friends. They plan to get a few bottles of beer and have fun.

Abdulai Barrie and Kajatu Jalloh are classmates. After school, they decided to take a walk, celebrating Valentine’s Day. They chose each other because they want to get to know one another better.

Valentine's day is special. Young people in Freetown choose their Valentines to celebrate and to make the day a memorable one.
