We took gifts of pencils to a school in Lombok and nearly caused a riot. Everyone wanted a pencil and we did not have enough to go around.We also gave to a teacher we know in Bali an icecream container of very used colour pencils. These went down extremely well. Both these schools were only junior primary.
We also found that the schools appreciate books on Australia.It would not matter what schooling material you gave them, I'm sure anything would be appreciated.
