A heartwarming volunteer effort from the Sumba Foundation\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/h2>\n

In November of 2017, with the help of guests from NIHI Sumba\u00ae<\/sup>, The\u00a0Sumba Foundation<\/a>\u00a0was able to initiate and establish the first English class. At the time, it comprised 39 primary school students.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The Sumba Foundation<\/a>, guests accompany staff to one of the nearby schools where they can contribute to English classes with playful lessons, songs, and games \u2013 incredibly rewarding and fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1422,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","experiences":[7],"class_list":["post-1417","experience","type-experience","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","experiences-cultural"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEnglish Class -
