The thoughtful nine-year-old boy who spent all his money giving retired ladies roses on Valentine's Day

A nine-year old youngster has been praised for spending "all the money he has" on flowers for retired ladies in the community. Karim and his parents and siblings moved to Swansea from their native Lebanon seven years ago.

And Karim told his parents that he wanted to do something on Valentine's Day to thank a group of local ladies for being friendly and welcoming to him and his family.

Sharing a video of the moment Karim gave flowers to the women, director of The People's Library, David Jones said: "On Tuesday a nine-year-old boy named Karim spent all his money - every penny - buying roses to give to a group of retired ladies who meet at Christ Well Church in Manselton each Tuesday afternoon. I asked him why, and he told me it was because 'these ladies are always nice to his family' and he wanted to say thank you for that!"
