Sonia Gilroy-Rojas Your commitment to mentoring the next generation of leaders is truly remarkable. During our time in Sierra Leone, we created countless memories, but one that stands out is our dedication to achieving daily step goals as part of the ‘Sweet Salone Strollers’ walking group. Late-night phone calls and determined marching to surpass our step targets are memories I cherish. As we enter the next decade, I wish you continued career growth, enduring friendships, and boundless joy.

Pessen Koroma “To the extraordinary Dr. Kim, You are a true powerhouse—a woman of immense strength, a nurturing mother, and an inspiring leader. Your unwavering commitment to the self-development of those around you is a testament to your exceptional character. You possess the unique ability to laugh, to smile, and when necessary, to provide the firm guidance that we all need. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you, Dr. Kim, for affording me the opportunity to serve during your time. On this special day, I offer my warmest wishes for a joyous birthday, a long and healthy life, and a future filled with even more remarkable achievements. One of the fondest memories I hold dear is witnessing your remarkable leadership in action. You implemented projects in the medical sector in Sierra Leone with an ease that was truly awe-inspiring. It’s a testament to the qualities of a true leader. As we step into the next decade, my most sincere wish for you, Dr. Kim, is for more success, continued good health, and boundless happiness. May your strength and compassion continue to inspire and uplift all those fortunate enough to know you. Happy Birthday!” Jacqueline Osei-Tutu One thing I deeply appreciate about Dr. Kim is her immense capacity for love, care, and thoughtfulness. A cherished memory I hold dear is from twenty years ago when Dr. Kim invited me to her home in Johannesburg, South Africa, to celebrate her 40th birthday. My heartfelt wish for you, Dr. Kim, is a life filled with enduring health, boundless happiness, lasting peace, and the precious gift of longevity. Cheers to a remarkable future filled with love and prosperity! Rosemary Orleans-Ansah What do I love most about Dr. Kim? Honestly, it’s hard to choose, but if I must, her forthrightness and loyalty shine the brightest. Unforgettable memories with Dr. Kim span across countries, from our days in Ghana’s med school to raising kids in London and visits to South Africa and the US. There’s a humorous tale of my mom personally delivering food to Kimwhen she first moved to the US, and an amusing incident where Kimwas humorously labeled a diplomat during a change dispute. So many moments, so much laughter. Happy 60th, Dr. Kim! 56 The Birthday Journal
