Early into the pandemic, Lara Marie Go wrote the article 'Pandemic Heroes' that highlighted ordinary people doing extraordinary things to help the community during quarantine. It motivated her to make a difference in the community.

She co-founded 'Bake the World a Better Place' (Instagram: @baketheworld.ph) with her classmate in International School Manila, Kyler Sy, who shares her passion for cooking and baking. The project aimed to provide a sustainable secondary income stream to pandemic-displaced workers by giving them the skills, equipment, and capital needed to start their own home businesses.
