Arena Knowledge Foundation

Arena Knowledge Foundation is located in Kollam, right by Jonakkapuram Beach. We are set up at a place called Baithusalafijonakkapuram Beach South, near Catcheri PO. The address mentions C/O Sarafudheen, who is part of the team here. Being so close to the beach means we can feel the sea breeze sometimes, which is the best part of working in this spot. It’s a quiet area compared to the main city. Our daily work involves a lot of reading and organizing knowledge-based projects. We aren't a big institution with hundreds of employees. It’s just a few of us in a regular building doing what needs to be done. We don't have fancy furniture or a modern office design. Everything is practical and used for work. Most days are pretty calm, and we just follow our schedule. We spend time answering emails and talking to people who are interested in what the foundation does. Sometimes we take a short walk near the water during our lunch break to clear our heads. It’s a humble way to run a foundation, but it works for us. We know the neighbors and the local postman quite well. People in Kollam are friendly, and we like being part of this coastal community. There's no pressure to look like a big corporation, so we just focus on the work itself. The sound of the waves is usually in the background while we type.
