Clea became aware of the work of the foundation when, in 2018, she volunteered with her son to assist in rebuilding school classrooms which had been damaged by an earthquake.  It had been a lifelong ambition to visit Nepal and experience first-hand the rich culture, traditions, and breathtaking scenery, but most memorable of all was the generosity and warm welcome received from the people themselves.   The trip left a lasting impact on Clea as she saw first-hand the direct and immediate impact that the work of the foundation has on communities and individuals.

​

Clea is privileged to be asked to be a member of the board and brings extensive experience in audit, assurance and financial management. She is looking forward to using her 25 plus years’ experience to assist the foundation to continue to grow and deliver sustainable, meaningful, and targeted aid to the vulnerable in Nepal.
