Foreign exchange student gives presentation on Kuwaiti celebrations

Gainesville High School student Latifa Ben Awadh taught her fellow classmates about her home country, Kuwait, last week when she gave a presentation to her history class on National Day and Liberation Day, traditionally celebrated on Feb. 25-26 in Kuwait. “It’s basically the Fourth of July for Kuwait,” Ben Awadh said. “On the 25th we celebrate the anniversary of the independence of Kuwait from British rule, and the 26th of February is the liberation of Kuwait from the Gulf invasion.”
