It is the mission of ANASAZI Foundation to prepare parents and children to turn their hearts to one another, begin anew, and walk in harmony in the wilderness of the world. A Change of Heart: “At ANASAZI, the children come first. We come second. To free themselves from worldly cares, I counsel our people to ‘drop their burdens at the gate’ and tend to the needs of the YoungWalkers on the trail. We strive to remind ourselves that the ANASAZI Way is not to change the behavior of the YoungWalker or the Parents, but to provide opportunities for the heart to be touched, so the change can come willingly from the ‘one who stands within.’ Then the Change of Heart, like clear water, will flow without compulsion.” —The One Who Stands Within by “Good Buffalo Eagle”, Ezekiel C. Sanchez

The Taraloka Foundation creates opportunities for Himalayan girls by providing education, healthcare, and a safe refuge. We strive to do the best we can for a small group of girls in the Himalayan region of Sikkim. We rescue girls from difficult circumstances and support all of their needs until they graduate from college. As soon as one of our girls enters college, we have room to bring another girl into the Sikkim Happiness Home, their safe refuge. Many have lost their parents and have no safety net. Some of our girls have a parent or a relative, but for a variety of reasons they need the safe refuge of the Sikkim Happiness Home. Regardless of the circumstance, our girls enjoy a life together as sisters. We help them cross over from a life of suffering to a life full of joy and potential.
