In November of 2017, with the help of guests from NIHI Sumba®, The Sumba Foundation was able to initiate and establish the first English class. At the time, it comprised 39 primary school students.
By June 2019, they officially opened their Learning Development Center in Hobawawi where we teach nearly 500 students (ages 4 to 18) English language and computer skills. There’s a total of three (3) afternoon English class locations, and in the mornings when children are obligated to attend their local government schools, we supplement their standard curriculum.
