I had a beautiful experience volunteering at Omah Sinau. I feel like I really had the chance to get to know the local culture and connect with local people. Moreover, I really agree with their goals and truly hope they get to accomplish them one day! :)

Our time there in Lumajang was really interesting! I would recommend it for sure. I really think that Asih makes a great labor and it's an amazing woman.

Staying at Omah Sinau was such a cool and meaningful experience. It's a very local setting (we were the only foreigners in the village) which made everything feel really authentic and different from the usual tourist spots. We got to talk with people from the region and learn more about them, their customs, aspirations, etc. Everyone was super welcoming. Asih, the host, was super nice and flexible, she adapted the activities depending on how I was feeling. During the stay, we helped out in the garden, and joined school visits to Omah Sinau to talk with students.

I had a really nice experience in the organization! The family really makes sure you feel at home and you can ask anything you want. Asih is an amazingly inspiring woman who told me everything about her history, goals and the struggles in this village. I learned so much about the culture and authentic life here, by meeting a lot of local people! We did some gardening, cooking and made a poster to have some social impact! We also helped at an event to give a voice to young women of Lumajang and I was inspired by all these strong women speaking, singing and doing theatre. Thank you so much for everything!

My time at Omah Sinau was so incredible! I was so sad to go and wish I could have stayed longer. Asih and the whole family are so kind and welcome you into their home with such love. You will have a true authentic experience living how local Indonesian people do, learning about their culture and religion, visit local sites and eat AMAZING food all hand made by Asih herself! Not only this but you are also supporting an amazing foundation trying to make a real difference in the lives of the local people. I could not recommend this project enough!

Volunteering at the organization was an enriching experience. I was there during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, it was nice that the family let me be apart of the Islamic tradition holidays. It was such a unique experience. I even got to meet the family's extended relatives, neighbors, and friends. I also got to stay for Halal bi halal and Nyewu (Javanese) two other Indonesian traditions. It was nice because they involved me in cooking/in the garden, I got to paint and meet other volunteers during my stay there. The schedule is flexible and food is organic and tasty. Thank you Ibu Asih and family for a fun time

My experience at the organization exceeded my expectations!! It was the highlight of my trip in Indonesia. I was immediately welcomed in and felt at home by Asih and her family. If you want to be totally immersed in the culture and connect with locals, this is the place! Asih is an amazing, kind & empowering woman- she has a huge heart and a great vision for the organization to help others. I got to visit local schools, teach English on Sundays to kids, do gardening, and visit tourist attractions as well. Everyday is different here. You won't regret coming! Thank you for everything the organization family ♡
