that pic looks alike shristi forced that little girl to sit beside her and take a picture
Did she actually do anything there except pose?? Do something useful. Build a school, offer labour for charity etc. Just looks like she makes herself up and then just stands around looking pretty in front of others. I don’t get how she helped with learning to monitor snow leopards, she posed then left. So she planted a couple of trees, big whoop!
