Six international students from Taiwan, Morocco, Japan, Romania, and Kenya have teamed up with the Karma Foundation to provide education to underprivileged children as part of a cross-cultural exchange program. The initiative, named ‘Prayas,’ aims to bridge educational gaps by involving these students in teaching basic subjects and conducting various activities with the children.
The diverse group of students includes Mako Miura, Yura Maetsubo, and Akane Sumi from Japan; Su Ming Ming from Taiwan; Mirel Vasile from Romania; and Souhauib Benyassi from Morocco. Each brings unique expertise and cultural perspectives, enriching the learning experience for the children.
Priyanshi Patel, the founder and managing trustee of the Karma Foundation, highlighted the significance of this collaboration. “The participation of these international students reflects our mission to bridge educational disparities,” she said. She emphasized that their involvement goes beyond just imparting knowledge, as they also inspire the children to think globally and embrace new cultural experiences.
The ‘Prayas’ initiative focuses on teaching core subjects, enhancing communication skills, and nurturing creativity through interactive learning methods. The international students will also engage the children in extracurricular activities, including art, music, and sports, aimed at fostering holistic development.
This partnership marks a significant step in the NGO’s ongoing efforts to make quality education accessible to all, regardless of socio-economic background. By integrating cross-cultural learning, the Karma Foundation hopes to create a dynamic and inclusive environment that empowers underprivileged children and prepares them for a brighter future.
Through such initiatives, the Foundation continues to strive toward reducing educational inequalities and creating opportunities for children to learn from diverse global perspectives.
