Kitesong

Inspiration Behind Kitesong

Kitesong is Wai Jia's flagship book that changed her life forever.

In January 2005, 18-year-old Wai Jia traveled to Nepal for the first time. There, the stories of girls who had been abused and abandoned broke her heart. Every year, they would be evicted from their home. What they needed, was a permanent place to stay.

Their incredible joy and audacious hope to pursue their dreams inspired her to write and paint Kitesong, to raise funds for a home for them.

But who would read, let along, publish a book by an 18-year old? Through a miracle, Kitesong was published and more than $100’000 was raised for a home for the children.

Wai Jia's simple story of believing in the power of a little dream has led her to speak all over the world.

Through video, hands-on activities and in-depth sharing in a variety of settings all over the world, Kitesong has inspired many, young and old alike, to pursue their dreams.
