Nima Sherpa, a fitting name fro the Nepal native girl who ultimately realizes that "Namaste" means let your light shine or to see the light in others. This is a super positive story and lesson in Nepal culture where it is important to see the positive light in all you meet. A great lesson for kids of all ages and adults too.
