About the Author
Kimaayra Asrani, an 11.5-year-old student at Kennedy School, has lived in Mumbai, Singapore, and Hong Kong for over a decade. Her hobbies include tennis, swimming, reading, gardening, hiking, and playing with Lego to design houses. She also enjoys cooking and engaging in DIY projects using waste materials.
As an Eco Rep at her school, Kimaayra is fascinated by marine life and loves exploring the beach to discover new sea creatures. However, she is dismayed by the neglect of our oceans, with plastic, tin cans, gas, and litter polluting the environment. Determined to make a difference, she passionately advocates for change.
Kimaayra is also a plant enthusiast and strongly believes in Audrey Hepburn’s words: “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” This sentiment echoes within Kimaayra as she actively engages in caring for plants and nurturing her own garden.
