Founder's Message
On March 6, 2002, in a crowded schoolyard in Bahktapur, Nepal, I had a great thrill. Five little girls holding hands, wearing their bright red uniforms and smiling nervously from ear to ear, walked toward me. I knew immediately that these were the orphans who had just joined the Unatti family, and I cried with joy. The girls giggled excitedly to meet me, and I knew that the Unatti Foundation was no longer a dream. It was real and so were they.
I spent the entire month of March in Nepal with the Unatti
family, organizing programs, ironing out logistical bumps, and best of
all, being American auntie to eleven excited and beautiful children. I
felt strangely at home on this, my fourth trip, in a land that is culturally
so different from our own. I realized how fortunate I was to be part of
it all, and to be contributing something of substance to the world.
I wish to offer my deep thanks to all of you who are giving me the opportunity to do this magnificent work.
Namaste,
Stephanie Waisler
