This service learning adventure to Timor-Leste will take the students of the Singapore American School along rugged coastlines and up winding mountain roads. Over 8 days, they will learn more about the turbulent history, culture and politics of the youngest nation in Asia and even conquered Mt. Ramelau, Timor-Leste’s highest mountain.

As part of their adventure, students will get their hands 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.
