American-Nepali

welcome

American-Nepali Students' and Women's Educational Relief was founded in 2001 after obtaining excellent results with our own little "street girl", Uma, whom we placed in a private school in Kathmandu. After 3 years, she had become fluent in English, had made up for being placed back two years initially, and was obtaining top marks. From wanting to simply learn to read and count, she began to feel she wanted to be a doctor. Uma graduated with honors in nursing and is working in a hospital in Katmandu. Eleven years after founding and many refinements, we have over 600 children in 120 schools and colleges all over Nepal. We are 117 for 117 in sending our high school students to college. Half of the college graduates have careers in Nepal, the other half are still pursuing their studies at the Universities. Read More

Namaste. With Spring comes beautiful weather in Nepal. The clouds part and the majestic Himalayas loom so high and majestic they humble our human existance and inspire us to greatness.

Great news for ANSWER!! Our own Earle Canfield, passionate founder and Volunteer Exececutive Director, has been nominated for Humanitarian of the Year by the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) !!! Stay tuned!!! Of course Earle is unconcerned about personal aggrandizement, but excited about the possiblility of what it might mean for ANSWER!

Earle is now back in Nepal traveling with staff to check on students, interview new students, deliver and collect letters for sponsors and visit with principals and parents. Some visits even require trekking to remote villages as they are not accessible by roads! A small group of ANSWER sponsors are leaving in May to join Earle for 2 weeks. We are also going back to Nepal, taking our daughter who is a sophomore at Arizona State University and our son who is teaching English in Japan. It is so exciting to share this incredible experience with them and hope that someday you can make that journey too!!
