A Busy, Fun-Filled Two Weeks

Looking Forward to a Visit from Nepal
In just a few short weeks, Bhuvaneshwori Satyal Foundation's (BSF) Executive Director Leena Satyal and Board President Yogesh Satyal will be traveling to visit us here in the United States. This will be their fourth trip to St. Louis since our partnership began. Between spending time with our child sponsors, attending our 2024 Strategic Planning Meeting, and attending a Miles for Mitrata Kids 2024 picnic, their time will be packed full of events and activities!

Over the years, as our partnership has strengthened and Mitrata has grown, BSF has grown as well. Just recently, due to the growing number of Mitrata sponsored children, BSF expanded to add two new staff members. With the addition of new staff members and our recent website updates, it was time for updated staff profiles on the “Our Partner in Nepal” page. The page was also updated to include more information about BSF, and links to other BSF blog posts!
Farewell 2022, Hello 2023!
Board President Jim Craig reflects on everything we have accomplished in 2022 and our main goals for 2023. Thank you for your continued support!
Strategic Planning
“This year’s strategic planning session was very special. It was the first meeting since 2019 that board members were able to attend in person. It was wonderful to see everyone again and reconnect. Back in 2018, Mitrata had laid out a five year plan, but like many things it was put on hold during the pandemic years. This year, our strategic planning session focused on making those plans a reality,” said Board President Jim Craig.
