The Finnish Board consists of our directors Carl Steinfort & Tuuli Vikstedt, along with the following group of generous, dedicated people who each bring expertise and enthusiasm to the management and guidance of Wind of Change.

During her studies and work, Ulla has spent a lot of time abroad including university studies in Italy and working in hospitality in the UK. Exploring the world outside Europe, however, has made her appreciate the different cultures, peoples and customs in the world, and also realise the essential need for decent living conditions, health and education for people – especially children. By being involved in the work of Wind of Change, Ulla feels she can start to make a difference through improving the lives of the children with whom we work.
