Ishti People'S Backbone Foundation

We are tucked away in Gali Number 7 over in Rama Mandi Kaki Pind. It's house number 119 if you're looking for it. Jalandhar-II is a busy place, but our little street stays pretty calm most of the time. We've been working out of this house for a while. It’s not a corporate office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a place where we sit down and get to work. Most of us live nearby, so we see the local issues firsthand every day. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything. We just talk to people and listen to what they have to say. It’s basic, but it works. We handle a lot of different things depending on who walks through the door. Some days are long, and we end up staying late just to finish off some tasks. Other days we get through things quickly. We don't have a strict hierarchy. Everyone just pitches in where they can. It’s a bit of a scramble sometimes, but we manage. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big reports. Walking down Gali Number 7, you wouldn't necessarily think there's a foundation office here. We like it that way because it keeps us grounded. We’re not separate from the neighborhood; we’re right in the middle of it. Sometimes neighbors stop by just to borrow a tool or ask for advice on something small. We help out if we can. It’s just about being a good neighbor here in Jalandhar.
