Hi I visited this particular orphanage about 2 weeks ago and found it a realy positive experience.We contacted Pac Gusti by ph to ask when was best time etc and that was appreciated.We had bought many things from Oz such as toys,school needs,books,clothing,sporting items,personal hygeine things eg toothpaste,shampoo,toothbrush etc.We also took food items purchased in Bali.
Here is a list of things that we confirmed they REALLY NEED
: cartons of Noodles
: Powdered Milk
:Tea
: Detergent
:Books in english and Indo for the children
:Pens
:Toothpaste
:*******The children REALLY love sport and at the moment they are trying to put together a basketball area so I know they would like some help with this project.Maybe you couls ask Pac Gusti how you could help with this project.Also we took over a number of pairs of soccer/football boots that the boys LOVED! Couple of older boys around 16 to 18 I know they would like some larger pairs of boots if you can acess these for them.Ours were all second hand but thats fine.Also magazines on sport,music etc as well. Hope this is of help to you.Cheers Toni
