HWP is now offering a new LAND-STAY option!

If you are a land lubber who doesn’t enjoy the motion of the ocean or your budget doesn’t stretch to a boat charter...you don’t have to miss out on the life-changing Holidays with Purpose experience.

Come and join us on Asu, the tropical island paradise of Nias, famous for it’s left hand reef break, white sandy beach, clear blue lagoon, friendly locals, and great fishing.

I am in the Arafura sea working on a chase boat “ MV Alex Gordon “ approximately 175 nautical miles from the Australian coast below Irian jaya. The weather is shocking 30 to 40 kts with a 3 meter swell running. So, rock and roll.

Hello! I'm just writing to introduce myself and say that I'm so excited to be part of the Holidays with Purpose team! Based in the lovely little seaside town of St. Augustine Beach, Florida, I'm now heading up promotion and bookings for the US!

We hope to expand awareness of HWP to more US customers - so that the LEAP projects can continue to be as effective as they've been in the past several years to the people of Indonesia.

I am so excited about this upcoming season on board the Indo Jiwa in Nias and the Banyak Islands! We are currently designing our Holidays with Purpose programmes for this year and there is so much to look forward to. We are planning on running home health and first aid courses for village women; organic gardening workshops; spend more time in the Orphanage ( Pondok Rahmat) in Nias as well as continue with our Coconut Kids clubs, canoe building and coconut oil production.

Welcome to the new holidays with purpose website. It's with great pleasure that Paula and I are launching this new site for Channa, Ruby and the rest of the HWP crew. We've spent every spare minute we had over the past month or so setting it up and we really hope you enjoy it. We hope it provides a little window into the lives of the people Holidays with Purpose is helping through their community support programs.
