Elisha Parikh

Hi! I’m Elisha. My journey towards becoming an accomplished baker began at age 7 and I am still striving to get better and learn new techniques! They say the smallest deed is better than the greatest intention, and so, for many of the events, I have baked several cakes, cookies, and cupcakes, which have sold rapidly.

I have also launched ‘Cakeify’, a reputed and award winning all-in-one baking kit, which truly shows how simple baking is, while having a delicious result! My biggest joy would be to share this passion with my friends at Ladiwali, proving to them that all they need is some butter, flour, and sugar to put a smile on their faces. Being a part of HelpOut since 2018 has been a beyond gratifying and empowering experience, and can’t wait to further revolutionise the education and amenities of Ladiwali Village.

When I’m not running my business, you’ll always somehow find me surrounded by food. Whether it be in the kitchen baking, or writing an article about topics ranging from edible flowers to future dessert trends, I love to be in the midst of the undying creativity and joy, the face-paced environment is what keeps me going.

Avantika Kampani

Hello I am Avantika Kampani; I am a student of Psychology. Art and musical theatre are closest to my heart and I truly believe that they have the power to transform, illuminate and educate. I have used my art to communicate whether its is via annual calendars, card games or campaigns for awareness. This has allowed me to funnel back my own small contributions to HelpOut.

I am passionate about education and have developed a learning tool “Seekh” for the development of a child’s brain from birth till age 4. I have also developed CHECKIN which is a card game for children 5 and older that deals with social emotional learning, which is the backbone of a curious and happy learner. Both the English and Marathi versions of CHECKIN can be found with our students at our Ladiwali school.

I have been connected over the last five years. with the students of Ladiwali at events and drives. Over time we have created a bond, an indelible connection.Their love and trust has been humbling and inspiring in equal measure and I hope to continue in some way to make their journey brighter and more colourful.

Azad Parikh

Hi! This is Azad, I am 15 years old. I have been practicing taekwondo for over 10 years and have earned the record of “the Youngest Third Dan Black belt in India” by the India book of records in 2018. Since then I have progressed to “4th degree black best”. I am extremely passionate about the oceans and particularly enjoy diving. I love playing video games and watching hilarious YouTube videos. Self defence has taught me discipline, self-confidence and self control and I wish to empower the students of Ladiwali with self defense skills by hosting regular camps, and help my team members in any way possible.
