Etleva Bejko
Hello. I have a passion for serving, and have been doing so in San Diego, CA for over 20 years. I am the current Executive Director for Survivors of Torture, but began my journey with the Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement team in 1999, then moved to Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) in 2005 as the Director of Refugee Services. Outside of work I enjoy reading a good book, a bad book, and everything in between.
Our
Story
I created OTA to bring two of my passions together, woodworking and empowering those in need. During my thousands of hours as a volunteer at St. Louis Children's Hospital, I saw first hand the pride and sense of accomplishment the patients felt with the art they created, particularly the wooden toys. I believed in the value this had on patients and I want to make sure that this is the norm in pediatric hospitals across the state of Missouri!
