Inclusive Social Development Foundation

We are located out in Bhumayappali Village, which is part of the Khajipeta area. It’s a small, quiet village and everyone pretty much knows where everyone else lives. Our foundation, the Inclusive Social Development Foundation, doesn't really look like much from the outside. It’s just a simple building where we gather to talk about what the village needs right now. Sometimes the conversation is about the water supply, and other times it’s about the crops or the local school. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment or a big budget to work with. We just have ourselves and our neighbors. We spend a lot of time sitting on the front porch talking to whoever walks by on the road. It’s a slow pace of life here, and we honestly like it that way. We aren't trying to change the whole world, just our little corner of it. If someone is sick or having a hard time with their family, we try to see how we can help them out. It might be finding them a ride to the doctor or just helping with some heavy lifting in the fields. The sun gets really hot in the middle of the day, so we usually take a long break then. Then we get back to it in the late afternoon when it is cooler. It's honest work and it feels good to be part of the community like this. We don't do big reports or have long, boring meetings.
