Girl 1: This light is for the Brownies in Greece who are called Populakia or "little birds." To them I wish happiness.

Girl 4: My light is for the Bulbul and Tara in India, whose happiness comes from helping others. 

Girl 5: In Belgium, Brownies are called Lutins or Kabouters. To my Belgian friends I send this light with thoughts of love and kindness. 

Girl 6: In Korea, Brownies are called Yunyo Taiwon. I send this light for Yunyo Taiwon who love to sing and dance just as I do.
