Demi Lovato is currently in Kenya on a charity trip for Me to We and Free The Children, and she celebrated her 21st birthday there on Tuesday. Cool, right? Especially since the Maasai surprised her with an awesome birthday party and gave her a goat as a gift! Not that she can take it back with her to the States, but like they say with any present: it’s the thought that counts.
Here’s a bunch of stuff from Demi about her trip – a video of her cool birthday party, a tweet with a picture, her statement, etc. Happy birthday, Demi!
“With 21 being a milestone birthday, I wanted a memorable and meaningful way to celebrate, rather than throw a big birthday bash. I knew traveling with Me to We and volunteering with Free The Children would give me the opportunity to have a life-changing experience I would never forget, with the people closest to me.
“Also having worked with the organization over this past year, it’s been great to see first-hand the wonderful work that is being done as a result of all the incredible efforts of young people around the nation.”
This trip has been such an amazing experience. Yesterday was the best birthday of my entire life!!! @freethechildren pic.twitter.com/ateE3n3wBt
