I have read the forum lately about donating goods to charitable organizations in Bali. I know the Balinese are struggling & i would like to help.

I'd like to know if it is OK for me to pass out toys, excercise books, pencils, etc at random as I travel around, rather than hand them over to a charity. I would like to spread a little happiness & actually see it for myself, rather than be an anonymous donor. I don't want to offend anyone if it is considered rude or disrespectful by the Balinese. Is it?

Has anyone else done this themselves? I would appreciate any feedback.
