"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."

Our EES administration, staff, and students will take time to celebrate with family and friends during this important time. After the end of the festival, all EES members will return to school to work hard and enjoy having the opportunity to receive quality education.
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.
In 2005 after a decade of teaching, Troy Harris, CanWES Founder, was ready for a new challenge in his life. Troy knew that he wanted to help people in some way, but he had no clear concept of where his efforts were needed most. In order to better understand how to help, Troy felt that he needed to see, first hand, the difficulties people faced. After taking a leave of absence from his full-time teaching position and traveling around the globe, it was in the mountains of Nepal that Troy realized what he wanted to do. During a 3 week trek in the Himalayas with his guide, Mahindra Dahal, Troy learned a great deal about Nepalese schools. He found out that many students travel 1-2 hours a day to get to school, and consequently, their parents encouraged them to stay home and help with working the fields. As a child, Mahindra and his family were forced to leave their community as a result of these conditions. In the end, Mahindra became a fully trained teacher but couldn’t find employment because, at the time, the Nepalese government was giving teaching positions to unqualified people for both personal and political gain. As Troy listened to his stories, he was saddened by the fact that so many children in Nepal were being deprived of the knowledge and passion teachers like Mahindra could offer. Troy felt that if schools were readily accessible, and qualified teachers were placed in the classrooms, it would greatly benefit both individuals and their communities. He has made it his mission to help institute this change.
