Add to wishlist

A heartwarming volunteer effort from the Sumba Foundation®.

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.

The Sumba Foundation, guests accompany staff to one of the nearby schools where they can contribute to English classes with playful lessons, songs, and games – incredibly rewarding and fun!

Listen to the natural sound of hooves pounding the sand along Nihiwatu Beach as our Sumba horses runs 2.5 km stretch of shoreline. Palm tree shadows stretch across the beach, and the herd runs exactly as nature intended, free, wild and at one with nature. 🤍.#nihigram by @gedewahyuu_
Mornings begin with horses running freely along the shoreline, mist drifting over the hills, and the gentle rhythm of the ocean in the distance.A refreshing swim, breakfast by the sea, and nowhere else to be but here.It’s the kind of place that reminds you to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and soak up the beauty around you.

Your day at NIHI begins with a little bit of magic. A refreshing morning swim, the sound of waves rolling in, and the sight of NIHI’s horses galloping freely along the shoreline below.On some mornings, a local farmer’s herd of water buffalo wanders across Nihiwatu Beach, while newly hatched sea turtles make their first journey to the ocean. These are the moments that make life on the Edge of Wildness so extraordinary, where nature quietly sets the rhythm of the day and no two mornings are ever quite the same.
