The Ama Foundation Board of Directors

Bonnie has functioned as Country Director in Nepal for The Ama Foundation for 22 years. During her formative years, age 8-13, Bonnie grew up in Nepal and she continued to visit regularly for the rest of her life. After a 35 year career in advertising in the Bay Area, she was able to live her dream of returning to Nepal. She was chosen by the board to step in and set up the management of Ama Ghar in 2001- the perfect option for her retirement/volunteer years. From then to the present day, Bonnie Auntie has had the best job in the world, watching the antics and growing up of the Ama Ghar children and keeping in contact with the Alumni. Bonnie has a very strong belief that the Ama Ghar children need to be raised by a loving Nepali staff, so she enjoys her Auntie role.
