Babul Ilm Foundation

We are over here at the M A Abbas Ali Campus in Patna. It is a busy spot in Gulzarbag right near Meena Bazar. Athar Hussain helps keep things running on the ground here. We started the Babul Ilm Foundation because there was work to be done in our neighborhood. It is not a fancy office, just a place where we get together. Sometimes the rain makes the road to Meena Bazar a real mess, but we show up anyway. We deal with everyday stuff mostly. People stop by when they need a hand or just to talk about what is going on in the city. It gets very hot in the summer here, so the fans stay on all day. We try to keep things organized but sometimes papers pile up on the old desks. We have been in this part of Patna for a while now. Most people know where the campus is if they live around here. We do not have a big staff, just a few of us trying to stay busy. We focus on what is right in front of us. No one here is trying to be a big boss. It is just simple work. The building has been here for years, and we just use the space we have. You might see us walking around near the bazaar in the evenings. We like it this way, keeping it small and local. If someone needs something, they know where the address is.
