She’s on a mission to gift home-baked birthday cakes to underprivileged kids
Parimala Anant hardly had time to sit between work and home. All that changed when COVID-19 happened. “We were all confined to our homes. I started baking extensively in my spare time. One day I baked extra cupcakes and was driving to a friend’s place. On the way saw a group of street children. I impulsively stopped the car and distributed cupcakes to them. The way the kids showed their enthusiasm had a deep impact on me.
Parimala reached out to orphanages near her home in south Bengaluru. “I spoke to the authorities and took note of the children who had birthdays in the coming months. I baked cakes for his birthday.”
Initially it started with 30 children and now it has reached to 150 children. Their goal is to reach as many children as possible. “It is a small initiative and not a business. “What started as a small act of compassion grew into a small group called Pari Cares. Slowly my friends also started piling up their finances and resources. That’s when I realized that goodness is everywhere People are ready to help others.”
This year Pari Cares also carried Diwali sweets and crackers to the children at Anant Marge and Deepa Academy. “I’m not going to go out of my way, but share what I have with those in need. I get peace and contentment in return.”
