Our primary work is in the country of Nepal. Since 2001, we have built a school, supported an orphanage, built several water wells, supports eye camps, a disabled children's home, and are currently aiding in the effort for earthquake relief.

I began my work in Nepal in 2002 when I volunteered for SEVA, a nonprofit organization to teach English to ophthalmic assistants at the Lumbini Rana Eye Hospital for six months. Upon my return I started a charity called Nepal What More Can We Do. I met Bill Sansone in 2005 in New Jersey after I purchased eighteen mattresses for Global Reach International’s orphanage in Janakpur, Nepal.

I decided to join Global Reach International and combine the two charities under one banner a few years later.

This began our joint venture of school eye exams in rural areas, support for a low vision program, aid for blind children at two government hostels and funding for four private orphanages.

We have grown into a charity of eleven support programs. I visit Nepal for two months each year to donate our collected donations and to report on the use of last year's funding.
