For their fourth year in a row, a group of 20 Singapore American School (SAS) will make their way back to Asia’s diamond in the rough.

This year’s service learning adventure will take them up Timor-Leste’s highest mountain, through rugged winding mountain passes and down to the country’s pristine dolphin filled waters at Atauro Island. Over 8 days, they will be immersed in Timor-Leste’s turbulent history, ancient culture and unconventional politics of the youngest nation in Asia.

Students will get down and dirty working on a Home Kitchen Garden Project – an initiative by HIAM Health.

HIAM Health helps women and children suffering from malnutrition. It takes a holistic approach, rehabilitating children suffering from malnutrition in addition to educating families and communities about proper nutrition. The Home Kitchen Garden Project seeks to provide families with balanced meals and an additional source of income.
