May first - a big celebration in Sweden

In Sweden May 1:st is a big holiday. It is the celebration of spring - the light finally comes back to Sweden after many months of darkness. Of course it is still cold - so we have to light fires (a very good way to get rid of your garden waste). It is also the big holiday for the workers.
May Day is a public holiday in Sweden since 1939. Since 2005 is also the National Day a public, non-Christian Holiday. This may 1:st is going to be celebrated on Saturday, in the Swedish School and I'm going to sell hot-dogs and beer for the guests. As always, the goal is to sell as much as possible to make as much money as possible for projects that will benefit Kenyans. But we also are going to have a good time, reconnecting with new and old "Swedish Kenyans", celebrating an important Swedish holiday.
