Ladwa Handball Foundation

Our foundation is based out of Ladwa, and if you're looking for us, you should ask for Sunil, who is Karmbir’s son. That’s how people find things around here. It’s not like we have a big office building with a lobby and a receptionist. We operate more out of the village itself, using whatever space we have available. Ladwa is a small place where news travels fast, so people know where to find the handball folks. We spend a lot of time outdoors or in small rooms discussing how to keep things moving. There’s a lot of dust on our shoes most days because we're always on the move. We don’t have a lot of fancy equipment or a big budget. It’s just about the sport and the people who want to play it. Sometimes we meet under a tree or in a small room at someone's house. It’s a very local way of doing things, but it works for us. We don’t have a website that’s updated every hour or a marketing team. It’s just Sunil and a few others trying to organize games and keep the kids interested. We have some old balls and a few nets that have been repaired more than once. It’s a bit of a struggle sometimes to get everything coordinated, but we’ve been doing it for a while now. It’s just life in Ladwa for us.
