Sinterklaas in Rwanda!
St. Nicholas, the original version of Santa is still respected and celebrated in the Netherlands and Belgium. And just like last year St. Nicholas came to Rwanda at the residence of the ambassador of the Netherlands in Kigali. Nani and Zoey also took part of the celebration and Jasmin and Yaida loved the pepernoten (ginger snaps) laying all over the place.
Jan Finnema, playing St. Nicholas, was recognized by his children, but this did not hinder them from experiencing a fun time. Yaida did not know that she actually knows this Zwarte Piet, played by Leontien.
The girls went home with tummies filled with perpnoten, candies, dutch cheese and Travis and I really enjoyed the crocet and haring. It was a fun event. We all felt very Dutch for a moment.
