Creating Smiles Changing Livesfoundation

We’ve been operating the Creating Smiles Changing Livesfoundation out of Kadugodi Post for a while now. Specifically, we are on Patalammafci Main Road, covering those blocks numbered twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty. It’s a busy stretch of road and sometimes the traffic makes it hard to get into the driveway, but we manage. The building itself isn't much to look at from the outside, just a regular place where we get the work done every day. We spend most of our mornings dealing with paperwork and taking calls. Some people find the name of the foundation a bit long when they’re trying to write it on an envelope, but that’s just how it is. We didn’t pick the name for brevity. Most of the staff here live nearby, so we walk or take a short rickshaw ride in. The Kadugodi area is changing fast with new buildings popping up, but our little corner stays pretty much the same. Inside the office, there’s always a stack of files that needs sorting and the ceiling fan makes a clicking noise that we’ve all just learned to ignore. We don’t have fancy furniture or a big lobby. It’s just desks, chairs, and people trying to keep things moving. Sometimes the neighbors from the shops nearby drop in for a quick chat or to borrow a stapler. It’s that kind of place. We keep the doors open when it isn’t too dusty outside and just focus on the daily tasks.
