Parubai had been with BGCH for many years. She was first working with the little boys to look after them, clean the dorm, and help them with their baths. After a couple of years, she began helping in the dispensary, then later she worked with the girls.

Parubai has nobody to care for her. Before coming to BGCH she was staying with her brother and small grandson. Her brother was not taking good care of her as he had his own family to look after. Parabai became very discouraged in her life. When she heard of BGCH she brought her grandson and admitted him. After leaving him here, she went back to her village, but then none of her relatives were good to her. She worked in one of the pastor's houses for some time and he told her to go to BGCH to work.
