Caption for the photo sent separately: The bright pink Rummage Sale sign in front of Esto House is very eye-catching. It immediately drew the attention of Raymond, who had brought his daughter Rayanna to the Estonian House on Saturday March 11th to participate in a girls kickboxing competition billed as “She Fights”. Judging from the number of people present at Esto House for this competion, kickboxing is apparently a very popular sport among young girls.
