B R Charitable Foundation

Our office is on the first floor of the Meridien Tower, specifically at C-12 in Uditnagar. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always noise from the street coming through the windows. We’ve been here for a while now, and the walls are covered with old calendars and notes we’ve pinned up over the years. This charitable foundation is really just a small group of us trying to do some good in the city. We don't have a huge budget, so we have to be careful with how we spend every bit of money we get. Most of the time, we are busy responding to requests for help, which can range from school books for kids to medical bills for someone who’s fallen on hard times. It’s a lot of manual work, checking facts and making sure the help goes where it’s actually needed. The desks are always messy with files, and the tea kettle is almost always on. We don't try to sound like a big organization because we aren't. We’re just local people who decided to stop complaining about things and start doing something instead. Sometimes the work is draining, and we wonder if we are making a dent, but then someone walks in and says thank you, and that’s enough to keep us going for another week. It is just basic work for regular people, really, and we are fine with that.
