Rayna Enterprise

Our little spot for Rayna Enterprise is out in Kechuahi village, which is part of the Jadupur-1 area. It’s a bit of a drive from the main part of English Bazar, but this is where we do our work. The post office over in Kamalabari is where we go for all our mail, so we’re back and forth on those roads quite a lot. Life in the village is quiet for the most part, except for when we have deliveries coming in or out. We set this enterprise up to handle things locally, and it has been a lot of learning as we go. The building we use is pretty basic, just enough to keep our stuff dry and out of the sun. We spend our mornings checking over what needs to be done and our afternoons usually involve a lot of heavy lifting or organizing the storage area. The ground around here can get very dusty in the summer and then turns into thick mud when the monsoon season starts. It’s just how it is in this part of West Bengal. We don't have a team of people or a fancy office; it’s just a few of us making sure things run right. We know most of the people around Kechuahi by name now, and they know they can find us here most days until the sun goes down and we head back to our houses. It’s a long day usually, but it feels okay.
