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

We are excited to be hosting ANSWER Co-Founders Earle Canfield and Mary Jane Schmidt in Phoenix this March. Since our return from Nepal this fall we have been eager ANSWER volunteers. So far ANSWER’s grass roots marketing plan has pretty much been one man – Earle – spreading the word…speaking at Unitarian Universalist congregations and to whoever will listen.
