    I made some desperate efforts: I want to make the best birthday present for my best friend Sophia. I need as many people as possible from all over the world at the moment I really don't have much luck! Could anybody help me and take a picture with a text on it you congratulate her? You dont have to show your hole face and I will only take the picture for private use. I'll only show it to her. It would be great if you add your country to your happy birthday sign and send it to me via email. I need it until 29th of june It would be great!
