Mangalagiri Narayana Foundation

We are located in Saroornagar at Plot No. 45. It's a quiet spot in MLR Colony near Balapur X Road. The foundation has been here for a while now. Most days we just handle the day-to-day stuff. We don't have a big office or anything fancy, just a regular space. People around the neighborhood know where we are. Dealing with the paperwork takes up a lot of time. Sometimes it's noisy because of the traffic near the X road. But we like being in Rangareddi. It's home. We've seen the colony change over the years. We try to keep things simple here. No big speeches or complicated rules. Just working on what needs doing. If you come by Plot 45, you’ll see our small sign. The local tea shop is right around the corner. We spend quite a bit of time there talking about work. It's not a flashy organization. We just do the work we set out to do. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, which makes things slow. We just wait for it to come back and keep going. That’s how it is here in Saroornagar. We're just a group of people trying to manage this foundation from our corner in Telangana. It's not always easy but we stay busy with the tasks on our desks. There are about four of us who come in every day. We share a couple of old wooden desks that have been here since we started. We aren't professional writers, so we just talk plainly.
