Looks who has a birthday!

Surpise! Someone has a birthday today! 

Really? Who could it be? 

I'm not gonna tell! 

Oh, don't be silly! It's Val-Pal's birthday!

And she's ready to celebrate! 

She went from a little girl to a grown-up lady, overnight. 

Ready to take on Kenya and fall in love with all the littles ones she met.

And ready to continue her passion through multiple trips to her adopted homeland. 

She continued to make friends on every trip. 

Even some questionable ones. 

But from every side, front or back, inside or out, Val is an amazing, beautiful person 

with so much to give to this world.

Help her Mutti wish her the best year ever.
