We really enjoyed our staying at the eco village LH! The project is just amazing and the experience with kids absolutely positive. There's a scheduled calendar so you'll never been left to yourself, Anggun will be with you during every activity Sumbawa's a beautiful island and people will be very curious to know you (prepare yourself to reply to several questions or to people who ask you to have a photo together for documentation 😅) Anggun's a very available person, she was super helpful to bring us around or to lend us her scooter, but if you can't use it I recommend to rent a car to visit aroud

I had an amazing experience, ziera and sukma are amazing and very helpful they have very good English and run the classes. The classes are only 3 times a week and a very easy it's more about just hanging out with the kids and having conversations. the kids are so cute and it's so fun to play with them. Definitely would love to go back and visit as everyone is so friendly and welcoming, definitely recommend.
