Traineee

We are located in Kothapeta village, which is part of the Damuluru post in the Kanchikacharala mandal of Krishna district. Our office, if you want to call it that, is run from the home of S/Opamulu. The name Traineee is what we go by, and we mostly just help out local people with basic training and skills. It’s a very small operation in a very quiet village. You won’t find any big signs or glass doors here. It’s just a regular house where we’ve set aside some space for a few chairs and a table. Being in a rural area like Krishna means we have to deal with things like power cuts and slow internet, but we’ve learned to work around all that. Most of the people who come to us are neighbors or people from the surrounding villages who heard about us by word of mouth. We don’t have any fancy certificates or corporate backing. It’s just us trying to share what we know and help people get ahead a little bit. The days are long, and sometimes it gets very quiet when there isn't much going on. We spend a lot of time just sitting out on the porch and talking to people who pass by. It’s not a business in the way most people think of it; it’s more of a local service for the community. We just keep it simple and do what we can with what we have.
