Aside from lighting up the stage as an experienced and elegant dancer, Apshy Vimal is cultivating reading habits by creating libraries under The Book Effect project.
The arts and education are two spectrums of subjects that are not far off from one another, and Apshy Vimal hold the two torches in a single passionate flame. The dancer and owner of a bespoke bakery, Cake & Bake is also the Youth Ambassador and Project Lead at Friends to Mankind where she oversees charitable and educational projects like Dance4Charity and The Book Effect.
We spoke to Apshy on the goal of The Book Effect to raise 10,000 books and building libraries for underserved children, who are the people behind the project and other fun facts about her.
1. What is The Book Effect?
It’s a very personal project for me because growing up, books were such a big part of my life. Books taught me to imagine and dream in a way that TV never could. It gave me insights into worlds I would never otherwise understand. Books have always been there for me, in one way or another, and I want to share that magic with other children.
