Vande Insaaf Seva Foundation

We started Vande Insaaf Seva Foundation in a small room at Janardan Apartment. Being right near Lokmanya School on Virar Road means there is always a lot of noise and kids running around, but it keeps the energy up. We've been here in Tulinj for a bit now. It is just a few of us working out of Room 3. Sometimes the fan makes a clicking sound and we have to fix it, but we get our work done anyway. People often drop by because they see the sign. We handle various community needs that come our way. The stairs up to the apartment are a bit steep if you are carrying boxes, but we are used to it by now. It isn't a fancy office with big glass windows or anything. We have a couple of desks and some old chairs where we sit and talk through what needs to happen next. Most of the time, we are out and about in the neighborhood instead of sitting behind a computer. Living and working in this part of town means you see everything that goes on. We try to help out where it makes sense. It’s a lot of manual coordination and phone calls. Sometimes the network is patchy in this building, so we step outside to the balcony to talk. It's just a regular local spot where we try to do some good without making a big fuss about it. We have some old filing cabinets that don't always close right, but they hold all our important papers just fine.
