The recommended Service Learning at Moonlight School – Cultural and Educational Exchange program:

International students engage in a hands-on service project at Moonlight School, working with Nepali students (aged 4-10). This initiative fosters cross-cultural exchange, enhances education, and makes a positive impact on the local community.

Project Highlights:

1. Classroom Engagement
   Small groups (6-7 students) rotate through classrooms, teaching core subjects and introducing creative ones (e.g., Computer, Music, Art).
2. Structured Sessions
   Each session lasts 35 minutes, followed by a 5-minute break, allowing students to explore diverse subjects.
3. Creative Activities
   Activities like role-playing, problem-solving, and storytelling promote critical thinking and collaboration.
4. Cultural Exchange
   Shared meals and playground activities foster mutual understanding and friendship. Letter exchanges before and after the trip help build lasting connections.

Benefits for Participants:

• International Students: Develop teaching skills, gain cultural awareness, and build leadership.
• Moonlight School Students: Experience enriched learning, broaden their perspectives, and build social skills.

This project creates a transformative experience, enriching both international and local students’ educational journeys and encouraging global citizenship.
Moonlight School students are proficient in English, and our teachers will assist to ensure smooth communication.

If you have specific plans or preferences for the service project, please let us know—we are happy to tailor the experience to meet your objectives.
