Jalarka Foundation

We're just a small group of folks over at Panjabari, right near Basistha. If you head over to Kailash Nagar, you'll find us at Laksheswar Doley’s place at house number seventy-three. It’s not some big fancy office building with a glass front or anything like that. It’s just where we handle the day-to-day things for the Jalarka Foundation. We started this because we saw things around the neighborhood that needed some attention. A few of us sit around the table there and figure out how to help out. Sometimes it's a bit messy with paperwork piled up, but we get through it. People around here know where to find us if they have a question. We don't have a giant staff or anything, just a couple of people who care about what happens in this part of town. Most days involve a lot of tea and talking through what needs doing next. It’s quiet enough on our street, which helps when we need to focus on local projects. We try to keep things straightforward and honest. If someone drops by, they’ll probably see Laksheswar or one of the others just working through the mail. It’s a practical setup for what we do. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not, just a local foundation doing what we can from our spot in Basistha. We’re just keeping it simple and working hard on the small stuff that matters to the folks living nearby.
