On the left, a woman with white hair smiles and gestures with her hand near her mouth, dressed casually in a striped top, beige trousers, and a dark cardigan. On the right, a woman wearing a headscarf, purple T-shirt, and red dungarees strikes a lively pose with one hand pointing upward, exuding energy and joy in a bright, welcoming room with colourful artwork on the walls.
