Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 02, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Bunker Roy! Another year wiser and still barefoot—proving shoes are overrated when changing the world. Your incredible journey from founding Barefoot College in 1972 to empowering countless rural communities worldwide is nothing short of legendary. Who knew that teaching grandmothers solar engineering could be cooler than rocket science?

Your recent successes continue inspiring us all: lighting up villages, championing women's empowerment, and proving education doesn't always need fancy degrees or footwear. May your birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought hope to thousands—and may cake crumbs between bare toes remind you how sweet life truly is!
