Panakos Social Foundation

We’ve been running our foundation out of Yashvant Nagar for some time now. Our place is at S.No. 36, and if you’re looking for us, we’re right behind the Datta Hotel. It’s a busy little pocket of Chandan Nagar. Kharadi has changed a lot since we first got here. There are new buildings popping up everywhere you look, but we’re still in the same spot. It gets quite loud with all the traffic and the people coming and going from the hotel, but we don’t mind the noise. It feels like we’re right in the middle of everything. The office isn’t anything fancy. We have a few desks, some old chairs, and there’s usually a pot of tea going. We aren’t corporate people. We don't wear suits or have big board meetings. We just sit around and talk about what needs to be done that day. Sometimes we stay late because there’s just so much paperwork to get through. Most of our work happens outside these walls anyway. We’re usually out in the neighborhoods or meeting people. We started this because we saw things that needed fixing and figured we might as well be the ones to do it. It’s hard work and the pay isn’t great, but we like the people here. If you’re ever near the Datta Hotel, you might see us. We’re just regular folks trying to help out where we can.
