In Latin America, Valentine’s Day is also known as Día del Amor y la Amistad. Whereas Valentine’s Day has a connotation for romantic interests, Día del Amor y la Amistad translated to English means “Day of Love and Friendship.”
In this spirit, the team at The Ivanhoe Sol reached out to people in and around Ivanhoe to gather words to their loved ones.
