May you all win in competiton
Malu R stood there, innocent and polite, looking at me with her cute eyes. She was ignorant about the events happening around her but the way she answered the questions were commendable.

While walking the 1 hour, we encouraged the children to appreciate the beauty and splendor of nature, as well…
