Another unique way to celebrate Valentines’ Day happens in Dubai, when the elderly and senior citizens organize a surprise lunch for many workers who live far away from home just to earn money for their own family. This was specifically an invitation made by Gold Age Group, the senior community themselves to celebrate and acknowledge the tremendous hard work of the dozens of workers at Green, a residential community in the city.
Moreover, in the United States a family run event was also organized in Myrtle Beach for many families to celebrate Valentine’ s Day by boosting their health with the ones they love. This was another nice way for them to spread not only the love, but the good health that they wish upon each other. This event made by the owners was so that families could spend more time together and at the same time, keep on moving and exercising.
With all the expectations that the day of love should just be for couples to celebrate themselves as one, it is no doubt that many have magnificently made the most out of the most romantic day of the year. And that is to truly give back to charity and give aid to those in need. But to celebrate the love for our partners and family while simultaneously helping to spread the love to strangers, I guess you could say it would be the best of both worlds for Valentine’ s Day!
