MEET ANIL DAHAL
ANIL PREPARES FOR A DAY AT EVERST ENGLISH SCHOOL
The Canadian World Education Society continues to get updates from former students who attended the Everest English School.
One of the school’s strongest students, Anil Dahal, who attended EES from 2008-2018 is now working with the Nepalese government working to create positive change within the diverse communities of Nepal.
ANIL WITH CANADIAN STUDENTS
One year, while attending the Everest English School, Anil was offered a full-ride scholarship to one of the most prestigious private schools in Kathmandu, but he turned it down. Anil refused the offer because he loved attending EES and felt that the quality education that he was receiving in Sanitar would undoubtably provide great opportunities for him and his family in the future. He went on to further his education later on in the country’s capital city, and as we already know, Anil now works for the government of Nepal.
ANIL - A YOUNG MAN IN GOVERNMENT
ANIL - A YOUNG MAN IN GOVERNMENT
Each one of us, including you, have helped Anil achieve these successes. As you can imagine, there are many EES students that will have similar hopes. Let us all reflect on our ability to have an influence in the lives of those less fortunate and continue to support their goals and dreams by providing quality education in Sanitar, Nepal. The people of Nepal value quality education and appreciate what each of you do to support them.

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.
