Akhandata Foundation

Akhandata Foundation is located up here in Himachal Pradesh, specifically in the village of Bathear, Kangra. We are at House 2353, care of Salochna Devi, in the Shahpur area. It is a nice place to spend our workdays, surrounded by the green hills. The air is always fresh, though it can get quite cold during the winter months. Our office is actually part of a local house, so it has a very personal and warm feel to it. We are not some big city organization with glass walls and modern furniture. We are just local people working out of a traditional building. Most of our day is spent talking to folks in the village or organizing small community events that help people out. Shahpur is a good central spot for us to reach different parts of the Kangra district. The address 2353 is pretty well known in Bathear, so people usually find us easily enough. We have a few rooms set aside for our foundation work. It gets a bit cramped when we have several visitors at once, but we always make it work somehow. Sometimes we have to deal with power cuts or slow mail, but that is just part of living in the mountains. We take things as they come and don't worry too much about it. We are just trying to do our part for the community here in Himachal. It is a quiet life for us.
