CANWES CHRISTMAS WISH

---

  I ASK ALL OF US TO REFLECT

We hope this email finds you healthy and well.

As we transition through difficult times towards arguably one of Western cultures’ most exciting holidays, reflect on how your life began, how you grew up, and reflect on how you find yourself at this very moment. For many of us, our stories are different, but the journey is similar. For those on the other side of the planet, their story and their journey have been incomparable to ours. 

Recently, CanWES received the following feedback from a graduate of the Everest English School in Sanitar, Nepal:

“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 the 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 to you in English just because of you. You came as light in darkness and ignorance.”

-Manoj Dahal

After graduating from the Everest English School, Manoj Dahal has continued to pursue his education throughout Nepal. He was arguably the strongest student to ever attend the Everest English School. After graduating from EES, Manoj continued his studies in Rumjatar, before leaving his family in Sanitar to further his education in Kathmandu where he currently studies. The people of Nepal value quality education. I am certainly proud of CanWES' role in helping to provide that in the village of Sanitar.

In discussions with Mahindra and others at the Everest English School, I am often reminded of how fortunate I am.

THE THOUGHT:

People in Sanitar think that we are smarter than them.

People in Sanitar think that we have better ideas than them.

People in Sanitar think that we are better than them.

THE REALITY:

We won the “birth lottery”.

THE WISH:

As we sit in the comfort of our homes accessing the internet to order Christmas gifts for ourselves and our family members, consider donating a portion of your spending to the Everest English School. Consider supporting the education of these dedicated and hardworking students of Sanitar, Nepal.

I know the challenges most of us have been faced with over the past two years, and the financial strain upon families; many of us don’t know what lies ahead. Yet, I can assure you, every penny of your dollar donated to CanWES will go directly to the school and students. The global pandemic has caused significant hardship for our grassroots organization, and with the absence of fundraising events comes the absence of funds to operate and support the Everest English School. We are reaching out to ask for a donation this December.

MY WISH:

As you consider donating a portion of your spending to the Everest English School, my wish would be for you to pass the CANWES CHRISTMAS WISH concept on to others who value education and empowering youth … Encourage five others to join the Family.

THE WAY:

There are two ways that people can donate to CanWES and ensure your money goes directly to EES.

1. DONATE ONLINE through      e-transfer - please send funds directly to our RBC account by emailing it      to donations@canwes.org
2. DONATE BY CHEQUE -      please send cheques to our business address:

Victoria, BC  V9B 4N9

As the Founder and Executive Director of the Canadian World Education Society (CanWES), I would like to personally thank everyone in advance for their generous donation to the students and staff of the Everest English School. In addition, I want to thank people for contributing by creating awareness and encouraging others to join the CanWES Family.

Providing quality education to youth around the world has been our focus, and CanWES remains the sole provider to EES in Sanitar, Nepal. For more information, please visit our website: www.canwes.org
