What a huge effort your pre-organization of these trips must have been. Well done! You have made many people very happy with your gifts and kindness too, and it's heartwarming to know that so many people care about the welfare of the Balinese.
I've often wondered if it would be better to buy school stationery at Makro, rather than taking it over with me and having to get permission for the extra luggage allowance.I think I may do that for next time.
Also, the suggestion about bedding is a good one, as I think most of us have some extra sheets etc in the linen cupboard that we keep "just in case" extra guests arrive .
I'm a day behind in reading your JBR's, so will check out your next one now. I will be disappointed when they finish as they make very interesting and entertaining reading!
