HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
AUGUST 15, 2024
Happy Seventeenth Anniversary to the Canadian World Education Society.
Thanks to our entire CanWES Family who have represented, supported, and contributed to our cause in any way. Every contribution, be it large or small, has allowed our organization the opportunity to achieve our goals of helping to provide quality education to youth around the world.
As the Founder and Executive Director of CanWES, I am grateful for the generous contributions that have been made throughout the seventeen years that we have been working.
The CanWES Family, volunteers and contributors together, have not only raised hundreds of thousand dollars to help operate the Everest English School in Sanitar, Nepal, they have changed the lives of impoverished youth and helped to provide life-changing opportunities for these young people and their families.
I could not be more proud of what we have all accomplished together. It is my hope that The Canadian World Education Society and its “CanWES family” can continue to support the Everest English School in Sanitar, Nepal as well as graduating students from schools across the Greater Victoria area achieve their dreams for years to come.
Thank you for your continued support in all of our CanWES initiatives. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Introducing
The CanWES Story
In 2005 after a decade of teaching, Troy Harris, CanWES Founder, knew that he wanted to help people in some way. After a trek in Nepal with guide Mahindra Dahal, he learned about the roadblocks Nepalese children faced with access to education.
In 2007, he created the nonprofit, CanWES, and its goal to build a school.
THANK YOU!
Since April 2008, Everest English School has been a working and thriving school that has grown to be the heart of the entire community in Sanitar, Nepal.
Students are excited to attend the Everest English School with the hope of providing a better educational future for their entire family. While they spend the day learning in classrooms, they bring knowledge and understanding back with them to share it inside their homes with their family members.
When Troy Harris walked into the village in 2007, only one person spoke English. Today the entire village is speaking English and building confidence in their ability to communicate in a second language. Exciting times in Sanitar!
THANK YOU!
CanWES would like to thank our CanWES Family (everyone who supports our efforts) for their continued assistance with the needs of a nation that struggles to survive at the best of times. Dhanyavad, thank you, be well.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
CanWES IS SIXTEEN
AUGUST 15, 2023
Today marks the Sixteenth Anniversary of the Canadian World Education Society (CanWES). Thanks to everyone who has represented, supported, and contributed to CanWES in any way, allowing our small volunteer based organization the opportunity to achieve our goals.
As the Founder and Executive Director of CanWES, I can not thank people enough for their generous contributions throughout these sixteen years.
The CanWES Family, volunteers and contributors together, have raised close to eight-hundred thousand dollars since its inception in 2007.
Truly remarkable for a small grassroots organization.
Providing quality education to youth around the world has been our focus. Having over ninety-five percent of the donated funds go directly to our cause has been our pride. Continuing to support the Everest English School in Sanitar, Nepal as well as graduating students from schools across the Greater Victoria area is our honour.
The Canadian World Education Society and its extended family is committed to continuing our mission of helping youth around the globe achieve their dreams for years to come.
Thank you to all,
Sabailā'ī dhan'yavāda,
Troy

"If we were to write about all the reasons that we are grateful for you on a little piece of paper, they will fill up an entire room. We are blessed to have Everest English School here in Sanitar. You changed our small village to a paradise. We are now capable to compete all around the globe. CanWES, You are absolutely amazing. I'm writing in English just because of you. You came as light in darkness and ignorance."
