Rampur Scholars Foundation Of India

We are out in Village Pahadi, staying at Rajender Singh’s place. Rampur Scholars Foundation Of India isn't hard to find if you know the village. It’s a quiet spot, away from the main city noise. You mostly hear the cows and the occasional tractor going past the gate. The building is simple, just stone and brick with a flat roof where we sometimes dry grain in the sun. We have a few desks pushed together in the main room. It stays cool inside even when the sun is beating down on the fields outside. Rajender’s family is around, so there’s always someone coming or going. We don’t have many visitors from outside the village, but the locals stop by to chat. The internet works if you stand near the window, but we don't rely on it much. We keep our books in a wooden cupboard that smells like old paper. It’s a very basic setup. There isn't any fancy furniture or air conditioning here. We just use the windows for a breeze. Sometimes the rain makes the road to the village a bit muddy, so we stay put for a few days. It's a slow pace of life. We like it that way because we can actually talk to people without rushing. Every day feels pretty much the same.
