1 March

On 1^st March we went to school a little bit earlier ( at about 7:30) , because we gave martenici to the students from school .. Some of them were very enthusiastic and happy , but most of them were sad because they were late for school ... After school we went to the local resident home for old people.

There we had a short performance, we read a poems connected with the holiday and the coming spring.I read two poems J When we finished with the performance we gave to the old people our martenici with message.

We were so surprised when the old people gave  us so many presents :hand – made martenici to all of us , book with poems from a man from the home and hand made wall panel J

We were all happy , because of their happiness and because of their surprise to us J
