Sonarsiddha Shri Kaal Bhairavnath Jogeshwari Foundation

We are located at Ashabai Ramchandra More’s place in Sonarital, which is part of Paranda. It is a simple setup, really. We didn't want a big corporate office because that’s not who we are. Most of us grew up right here, so we know every corner of the village. The foundation is named after the local traditions we grew up with. We spend our mornings mostly dealing with whatever comes through the door. Sometimes it's helping someone with their crops, other times it's just sorting out a bit of local trouble. Paranda is a quiet place most of the time, but there is always work to be done if you look for it. We keep our records in old ledgers and try to stay on top of things. It’s not always easy, especially when the power goes out or the roads get muddy. We don’t have a lot of money, but we have plenty of time for our neighbors. Everyone knows Ashabai’s house, so finding us isn't hard. We sit out front when the weather is nice. We aren't looking for any awards or anything. We just like helping out the people we’ve known our whole lives. It’s a small foundation, run by local hands. That is the way we like it. It keeps us close to the ground and honest about what we can actually do for the community.
