Our Sponsored SHF Students
Helping dreams come true, one at a time!
A short glimpse in the lives of our sponsored students at SHF; all with a very bright future ahead of them.
2023 Sponsored: Meet Inestasia!
A devoted daughter, sister, and now a hospitality student at Sumba Hospitality Foundation. Inestasia’s heartwarming energy is felt by all the students and teachers around her - which makes a lovely new addition to the school! Her passion is realised through the opportunity to meet and interact with various students from different backgrounds across Indonesia.
She appreciates SHF for continuously emphasising the importance of studying well, and chasing one’s dreams. Her main goal is to make her parents proud, and become a shining role model for her younger sisters! Besides attending English, core modules, and life skills classes, Inestasia learns how to craft drinks, deliver exceptional customer service, and most importantly; how to serve with a warm and genuine smile every time!
2023 Sponsored: Meet Arie!
Hailing from the region of East Sumba, alongside his mother and siblings; Arie often admires the beautiful views (though hot temperatures) of tropical Sumba - the very island he’s proud to call home! By being granted the opportunity to study at Sumba Hospitality Foundation, Arie has unearthed his newfound passion in the Culinary Department, where he often expresses immense joy and talent in the school’s cooking classes.
He enjoys the structure provided on campus - starting the day bright and fresh at 5:30am! His favourite part of the schooling day is spent at the Study Hall; where he gets to mingle with his like-minded classmates-turned-friends. After graduating from SHF, he’s determined to land himself a position as a Michelin-starred chef!

A little more about our scholarship recipients over the years!
Sepri
2022 scholarship recipient
Sepri picked up the skill of interacting with various different people and now applies it by happily engaging with his hotel guests from around the world! Along with playing football, he enjoys his time at SHF by visiting Sumba villages to learn about the local culture.
His passion to study English has led him to the opportunity of becoming a brilliant front-house receptionist! Sepri’s favourite part of being a receptionist is making sure his guests feel right at home in their lovely hotel. His dreams are anything but small - with the support of SHF, he is now able to take his determination and gain valuable experience towards his dream job at a 5-star hotel!
Asthy
2022 scholarship recipient
Asthy loves to play badminton on the soil of SHF during her leisure time. Along with her ambitions to visit London one day, she is known for her bubbly personality on campus - whether that is making friends with fellow classmates or channeling that positive energy through her clients in the Spa Department!
Her passion to learn the various techniques of massages and essential oils originated first from her philosophy that the spa heals the body and soul. Though sometimes encountering nervousness while practising her skills - she quickly reminds herself of her confidence and ability to become a talented masseuse while counting down the days till graduation!
Asthy'S MESSAGE
Dela
2021 scholarship recipient
Dela appreciates SHF for allowing her to receive a quality education! On her summer breaks, she would return to her village to have her family sample delicious mocktails, teach her loved ones better English, as well as housekeeping skills she has learnt in school. One of her most memorable experiences was interacting with guests directly as a waitress in restaurants. This first experience had inspired her to one day open up her own homestay business, and to employ her loved ones to share the joys of quality hospitality.
Cavin
2021 scholarship recipient
Cavin has had the ability to further his education and career in the culinary industry, with his goal being the executive chef of his own lovely restaurant. His inspiration was largely the teaching staff of SHF, as well as himself for having the courage to better his life. Cavin has recently graduated from SHF and continues to live his excitement with an internship in Bali, where he practices his new soft skills learnt of interacting with guests from all over the world.
Nico
2019-2020 scholarship recipient
Nico has always dreamt of returning to Sumba with his loving family by first accomplishing a better career. With the support of the SFH, he was able to begin the journey of making his dream a reality by graduating school with good marks, and securing an internship in hospitality. Often he speaks of his gratitude for learning the insides and out of hospitality - and how it also made his confidence grow in his personal life.
Tina
2019-2020 scholarship recipient
Tina has been able to ignite her fire of proactiveness and the passion to educate herself across all fields spanning hospitality, housekeeping, and culinary skills - all with the opportunity of being enrolled in SHF.
