Project Personnel

Olga Murray - Founder and Board President

Olga law clerked for CA Justice Stanley Mosk. During her 37-year tenure at the Court, Olga helped write important decisions in civil rights, women's rights, and environmental policy. She retired in 1992 to launch another career-helping impoverished children in Nepal. Olga spends half the year in Sausalito, California raising funds for NYF, and the other half in Nepal overseeing NYF's programs.

Som Paneru - Executive Director, Nepal

Som knows non-profit management, NYF, the Nepalese education system, and the world of Nepalese children from the inside out. He completed college under NYF's auspices and then taught science and math in various schools. He joined NYF's staff 16 years ago.

Man Bahadur Chhetri - Director of our Indentured Daughters Program

Man oversees the program in Dang. He has an uncanny knack of winning the confidence of the communities in which he works, and as we experienced on many field visits, is viewed with respect and affection by the locals. He lives in the area, simply. We owe the success of this project to his intelligence, deep knowledge of the community, and commitment to ending the practice of bonding children.
