PARTY LOCATION…

Lake Austin, because Rebeka loves it and it would mean she gets to come back to Austin, Texas, for a visit!

PARTY SOUNDS…

Dancing music, because even when Rebeka was wearing casts on both legs, she found a way to get her groove on.

PARTY FOOD…

Fanta, chips and guacamole, favorites in Texas and Rwanda!

Uno and Memory, the two games Rebeka wins again and agai.

PARTY FAVORS…

Tiny peace baskets from Rwanda, similar to the larger, traditional ones that have been used for centuries. Inside each one, a small bag of Skittles, Rebeka’s favorite candy.
