Umca Foundation

We are up on the second floor of House Number 37 in the Chhama Enclave of Maruti Estate. This is in the Shahganj area of Agra, specifically near Alwatiya Hospital. Being on the second floor means we have to walk up a flight of stairs every morning, which is good for some light exercise, I suppose. The pin code here is 282010. Since we are so close to a hospital, the street outside is always filled with cars and people coming and going. It’s a very active neighborhood and it never really gets quiet. Our office space is divided into two small rooms. One room is where we keep the main desk and a few chairs, and the other is just for storage and old files. The windows look out over the street, so we can see all the chaos of Agra life while we work. We have a small water cooler in the corner because it gets incredibly hot here during the summer months. Most of our work involves sitting at the desks and talking to people who come up the stairs to see us. It’s not a fancy corporate office with air conditioning in every corner. We just have a couple of fans that rattle a bit when they are on high speed. It’s a practical place to be, and being near the hospital makes it easy for people to give directions to our location. We just keep things moving along one day at a time.
