Hiti Foundation

We’re over here at Arkuna Chauraha in Sohawal, not too far from the main turn. The Hiti Foundation operates out of a space near Vijay Lakshmi’s place. It gets pretty dusty out on the road when the trucks go by, but we keep the fans going inside. Most days it’s just us sitting around the wooden table figuring out the schedule. We don’t have a big sign or anything fancy yet. Just a plain door. If you get lost at the chauraha, anyone can point you toward the Sahana Mod area. The walls are painted a light yellow that’s peeling in the corners, but it feels like home. We’ve been here for a while now. Ayodhya is changing fast with all the new construction, but our little corner stays mostly the same. We have a tea stall nearby where we get our morning snacks. It isn't a huge operation. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoon, so we just sit on the porch and wait for it to come back. We keep our paperwork in those old blue plastic folders. It's a lot of manual entry. We don't use many computers because the internet is spotty anyway. Most of the people around here know us by name. It's a quiet life for the most part, just doing what needs to be done. We try to keep the place swept, though the wind makes that hard.
