On her this outburst talent her mother speaks “She is very clear about what she wants. She didn’t hesitate for even a second. The whole trip was sponsored by TEDx. At the main event, when she stood on the stage to speak, I felt nervous because she was the youngest and had to speak without holding any paper in her hand. But she spoke well.”
She is one bright child who is passionate “working with community children to empower them for a better tomorrow”.
She on this wonderful representation on this huge platform says “When I finished my speech, I was relieved because it was exactly how I imagined it to be. It was midnight in India, but my friends and relatives called me after the talk to convey their best wishes.”
