Niha and Emha are great hosts offering a great overall experience. From the moment i applied for the project and after meeting them, i could see their passion and commitment to what they're doing helping children improve their language. The whole family was really great hosts and always making sure that i was comfortable there. Niha provided a clear schedule and explanation about the task i was supposed to do.
Luckily i was there during the independence week which is a big celebration so i was able to see how they celebrated that in their town. Overall, great experience and Highly recommended.

The experience I had at the project (Learning Center) can be described as local and meaningful. From the minute I stepped inside Emha's & Niha's house until the day I left - I felt welcomed and cared for. It was amazing to experience the local life (facilities, food, community). Everyday Niha provided a clear schedule on what students would attend the English lessons. I received the freedom to structure the lessons myself, and Niha provided the necessary available materials. The lessons I taught typically involved 2 students, so it was easy to give the right amount of attention to all students.

Staying at Niha and Emha's house was a truly enriching experience. Working with the children was rewarding without ever feeling overwhelming. The hosts are very proactive, genuinely interested in learning about your culture while sharing their own. They are welcoming, engaging, and always happy to show you around and suggest a variety of activities in the surrounding area, which made the experience truly unforgettable. I fully recommend this experience to anyone who wants to enjoy an authentic local experience. Added bonus: the food is abountant and absolutely delicious!

My first experience with WP was incredible, and Niha made me feel welcome from the very beginning. She was communicative and supportive over messages even before we met in person, which made the whole experience feel comfortable.
Both Emha and Niha are gracious hosts who truly care about their volunteers and students. They made sure to make me feel included in all activities (even outside of classes), not only in their family but also the local community. I had a wonderful time organising activities and lesson plans for the children, and learning more about the Javanese culture. Thank you!

Niha and Emha were exceptional hosts, and my time volunteering with them was truly amazing. I got to visit multiple schools as well as working with the students at their own private learning center. They are so understanding and supportive and always made me feel at home. It was an incredible way to learn more about the culture and have an authentic local experience, while contributing to their amazing education project. All of the students and people I met were truly wonderful, and I am so grateful for this experience. I hope to be back one day :)

This was an unforgettable experience! Niha and Emha welcomed me with such kindness and made me feel right at home in their beautiful village. From visiting schools to teach English and French, to having deep, insightful conversations with members of the community, every moment was meaningful. I am truly grateful for their hospitality, patience, and the inspiring work they do every day. Their dedication to education and community is remarkable, and I left feeling not only enriched but also motivated to carry these lessons with me! Thank you for everything!

What an awesome experience! I really felt like I had an impact by helping students improve their English and teaching them new things about my culture. In exchange, the students taught me Javanese and Indonesian, as well as their local traditions. Niha and Emha were wonderful hosts. Always smiling and making sure I felt at home. They were incredibly generous, patient and respectful. Thanks to them I was able to learn more about Temanggung. For instance exploring the tofu and tobacco production. The local people are super friendly and always making sure you feel welcomed. Loved it!

Definitely home away from home!!! It was an experience that touched my heart deeply. From the moment I arrived, I was embraced with warmth and hospitality that made me feel like home. Teaching their students was a joy. The children were so sweet, making each lesson engaging and rewarding. The family's support extended beyond the classroom, offering insights into local traditions, cuisine, and daily life, enriching my understanding of Javanese culture. Thanks for everything again my friends!! See you soon.

True immersive experience in the local culture. The host and all the family is incredibly kind and generous which I was very touched and sensitive. I also felt listened and respected in the culture difference. I felt more part of the family after one day than with other people I know for a long time. Food was tasty and exactly how I like. I would just have wished to have more exchange about the mission in advance to know more about the organization because I like to know where I m going 😉

Staying with a local family during Eid was one of the most meaningful experiences of my travels. I was welcomed with open arms and treated like part of the family. Being there during the holiday allowed me to truly experience local life—meeting extended family, visiting neighbors, and being invited into home after home with endless generosity. The food was incredible and nonstop, and I learned so much about the culture, traditions, and rhythm of village life. It was fun, heartwarming, and completely unique. I'll always remember the kindness, the laughter, and the connections I made here.
