I came back for the second time and can easily come back for a third! I forgot they are only getting volunteers for half a year, but the growth they made is impressive. The kids English improved, Haidar his tourguide skills improved and the food is amazing as always! They work a lot with the community and really try to make a difference! It is nice to experience that from up close and to feel their excitement for just visiting! I hope I can come back again and cannot wait to see how they have grown by then! The family is amazing and the mindset of Asih is truly admirable. Highy recommend!

My experience as a volunteer has been above my expectations. Miss Asih and her family have welcomed me practically as part of the family. Her vision about Oma Sinau Gesang is a truly example of woman empowering. The food was amazing all the time and the cultural inmersion was absolutely fantastic, I actually was little bit sad because I found " a home away from". I will definitely come back in the near future. Makasih the organization, Asih, Papa, Haidar, Rara, Masi and of course fufu fafa, you have a place in my heart from now and then. 🐱

I was welcomed by Asih's family right away. They are really remarkable, living in a community that struggles with knowledge and attempting to help them grow with compassion. I learned so much about Indonesian culture but also social nuances. Asih's family cares about empowerment and inclusivity and I really believe in their mission. I also got to visit some beautiful destinations (waterfalls!) in my one month there and did some fun and unique activities. Advice: there are mosquitos. Best to bring repellent from outside of Indonesia (spray DEET is best) but can buy locally (Soffell > Autan).

Asih, Haidar, and the family are absolute angels and exceeded my expectations in every way. I felt right at home, got to be involved in the local community, and learn about a new culture. See you all again someday :)

I had a lovely time at Omasena Ogenang! The people are kind, the place is peaceful, and the food is amazing. The work is flexible, with no strict schedule, and there's time to explore Java around. Every day is different, and you really feel part of the family. Thank you so much for everything!

I had a good experience at Omah sinau, even though during Ramadan there were no classes so we didn't do much. I definitely would like to experience it during a more active time. Haidar is super friendly and willing to explain you everything. Thank ou for having me guys! 😄🙏🏼

Volunteering at the organization was a one of a kind experience, the team is very warm, welcoming and kind. A heartfelt experience that will remain with me forever. I learned about Permaculture, taught English to kids,visited local schools and experienced local slow living in Lumajang, Indonesia. Special thanks to the founder Aishi who made me feel like a part of the family & who cooked delicious meals for me. Also thanks to Haider for taking me to Tumpak Semu Waterfall. Truly grateful for the experience. Eagerly looking forward to come back soon! Lots of love, Nishad

We had an incredible experience at Omah Sinau Gesang! If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture of East Java while contributing to a meaningful project, this is the perfect place. Asih and her family are incredibly kind-hearted making you feel like part of their family. Every day was unique, filled with joyful moments - from playing Gamelan and doing aerobics with the children, to teaching English and discovering the stunning Tumpak Sewu waterfalls and Mount Bromo. And we were treated to the best traditional Javanese food, thanks to the amazing cook : Asih. Merci beaucoup !
