Model and actor Pearl Angel D’souza to represent India in Lisbon at the Global Climate Change Forum

A Goan model of Portuguese descent, Pearl Angel D’souza will represent India at the Global Climate Change Action Forum – an international platform for young minds to discuss and deliberate on Climate Change-related issues and activities.

According to another report, she will also be honoured by a Lisbon, Portugal-based non governmental organisation (NGO), People for Underprivileged People or PUP for her active help in the slums of Dharavi and Govandi in Mumbai. More details are awaited and we will keep you posted on the award to be presented to her on an international platform.

D’souza whose family originally hails from Navelim in South Goa, is of Portuguese descent, but shifted to Mumbai when she was barely a year-old. She studied in Mumbai and took up work with a media organisation, before getting into acting and modelling. She presently lives in Mumbai and shuttles between Goa, Mumbai and Giriz in Vasai where her family lives.

Now, the 31-year-old besides pursuing her acting and modelling career in Mumbai, is very actively involved in social work, providing free tuition to street kids and kids living in slum pockets.

Pearl who is a big fan of the popular reality show on Colors – Bigg Boss, hosted by Salman Khan wants to continue both – her acting profession as well as her social activities for which she devotes 4-5 hours daily.

She has done a few web series for OTT (Over The Top) platforms and even featured in some ad films. She did a cameo role in the Maneesh Singh-directed film Green Terror. Besides, she has done dozens of print ad and catalogue shoots, but focused on social work during the Covid pandemic, as other avenues were shut during the lockdown. She is very actively involved in Climate Change activism in India and particularly in Mumbai and Goa.
