Sharing is caring ❤

One of the most beautiful and valuable things we are able to do is sharing our blessings by helping others. Valousera really wants to make a difference and together we can! That is why we donate 5% of the revenue to the Dutch division of IHH-Humanitarian Relief Foundation, to help build water wells where needed.
