Vrajbhoomi Vidhya Ashram Foundation

Our foundation is based right at the Vrajbhoomi Ashram in Mogar, which is in the Anand district. We are situated near the Bal Amul factory on National Highway 8. It’s a busy spot because of the highway, but once you step inside the ashram gates, it gets a lot quieter. We focus a lot on the Vidhya side of things, which is basically about learning and helping the younger ones get some knowledge. The building we use is quite old but it’s sturdy. We have some classrooms and a small area where we keep our books and supplies. It’s not a fancy school with air conditioning or anything like that. We use ceiling fans and keep the windows open to catch the breeze. The kids from the nearby villages come here, and it’s always loud and full of energy when they arrive. We spend our days making sure they have what they need to study. Sometimes we run out of chalk or paper, but we always manage to find some. The staff here are mostly local people who have been with the ashram for years. We don’t have a corporate structure or big meetings. We just talk to each other while we work and figure things out as we go. It’s a very hands-on way to run a foundation. Living and working in Mogar is simple, and we wouldn't want it any other way. We just keep doing our bit.
