Louisa is Freddie and Allo's daughter and is one of the children I teach. As is the case with all young children, she was counting down the days and would give us all regular updates on how much longer til the BIG DAY!
I bought her a gift of a rashie and a cute top, which she seemed to love. Everyone else on the compound gave her little things too, so I think she felt very special and well celebrated. I'm not entirely sure what PNG traditions are surrounding birthdays - I'm still figuring that out - but since there are so many of us here who are from Canada or Australia, we celebrated Louisa's birthday with gifts and cake. We sang happy birthday and she seemed to love it!

Cutting the cake. The kids couldn't wait!
Louisa was absolutely stoked with the cake
The party guests
Opening presents - lolly teeth (to fill in the gaps of her missing ones), a headband, some craft activities and some clothes. It was cute to see the joy on Lou's face as she opened each one!
Goodies all packed up in a gift bag. She was super stoked with her gifts :)
