Vaishali Charitable Foundation

Our office for the Vaishali Charitable Foundation is located at the same spot as Vaishali Touts & Travopp, which is right across from Nehru Bhavan. If you are near the Kirti Stambh landmark, you are basically right there. The space belongs to Dinesh V Patel, and he’s been kind enough to let the foundation run from this location. It is a busy spot because of the travel business next door, so there are always people coming and going. We have a small corner where we handle the foundation's work. It can get a bit noisy with the phones ringing and people asking about bus schedules or tours, but we don’t mind. It keeps things interesting. The office is full of maps and old travel posters, alongside our charitable records. We use whatever space is available to store things we need. It isn't a quiet, contemplative space; it is a place where things happen. Most of the people we help are those who wander in while looking for the travel desk. We like the connection to the landmark of Kirti Stambh because it makes us very easy to find for anyone in the city. There’s no need for a map once you get to Nehru Bhavan. Just look for the travel signs and you’ll find the foundation too. It’s a practical arrangement that works well for us, even if the space is shared with a lot of other activity.
