Biirgo Foundation

Biirgo Foundation is based in Tengapara, care of Prithiraj Narzary. We are just a local group working out of a simple space here. Tengapara is a place where everyone kind of knows each other, so we don’t need to do much to let people know we are around. The foundation handles different tasks depending on what’s needed that month. We don't have a specific script for how we talk to people. We just sit down and hear what's going on. The work is mostly quiet. We aren't out there making big announcements or anything like that. It’s more about the small things that add up. Our office is just a room with some basic stuff in it. We spend a lot of time on the phone or just writing things down. It gets dusty sometimes, and the fan makes a bit of noise, but it’s our home base. We started this because we saw things in the community that could use a hand. Prithiraj keeps us on track with the admin side of things. It’s not a high-stress environment, but we stay busy. We don’t have a big budget for fancy things, so we just focus on the people who come through the door. If you’re in the neighborhood, you’ve probably walked past us a dozen times without thinking about it. We are just a part of the everyday life here in Tengapara, doing what we can for the locals.
