Discover Islam Education Trust

You can find us over at 63 Jayanagar on the first floor. We are right on 8th Main Road in the 3rd Block area. Being on the first floor means there are a few stairs to climb, but it’s a nice enough space once you get up here. We spend our days mostly organizing educational materials and talking to folks who come in looking for information. It’s usually pretty quiet, except for the sound of traffic from the main road outside. We have several shelves filled with books and pamphlets that we keep in order as much as we can. The light comes in through the front windows in the morning which is nice. We aren't a big operation, just a few of us here making sure the Trust runs okay. Sometimes we get groups coming in for a chat, and other times it’s just one person looking for something specific to read. We don't have fancy furniture or anything like that. Just some sturdy desks and plenty of storage for the books. It gets a bit dusty with all the paper around, so there is always some cleaning to do. We like being in Jayanagar because it’s a central spot for people to reach us. The neighborhood has changed a lot over the years, but we’ve stayed in this same building. We just keep doing what we do every day without much fuss.
