Bright Pines Foundation

Bright Pines Foundation is situated in Village Satbari, right near the Durga Mandir. If you are looking for the exact spot, it is F 62, Khasra No. 903/1, on the ground floor in Kharak Riwara. Being in South Delhi, you might expect something very modern, but Satbari still feels like a village in many ways. We like that about it. Our foundation is based right here because we wanted to be close to the community. We aren't a big corporate entity with lots of rules. It is just a ground-floor space where people can drop in. We do a lot of different things, mostly whatever the people in the village need help with at the time. Sometimes that is organizing a small clean-up or helping someone understand their electricity bill. The office is pretty plain. We have a couple of wooden chairs and a big table where we keep our paperwork. It can get a bit dusty because of the road outside, but we just wipe it down and keep going. We don't have a big mission statement on the wall. We just know that if a neighbor is struggling, we should probably see if we can help out. Most of the people who work here live just a few minutes away. It is a local effort through and through. We have been here for a bit and plan to stay for as long as we are needed.
