Administrative Director

Leela

Leela connects all the dots and makes things happen. Leela plays a key role in the home as a “mother” and so much more. “My joy is in spending quality time – one on one with each child. Listening to their joy, sorrow, complaints, difficulties, achievements and progress,” she says.

Operating a children’s home requires the wearing of many hats. Leela is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the home including budgets, liaison with staff, teachers, healthcare professionals and the planning it takes to care for the kids in the home, at school and beyond.
“The favorite part of my job is when I have all the kids around me chatting with them. I enjoy this the most!!”
