Hi Pete
I'm the Noel thay Enpi spoke of.
Yes we do arrange sponsorship of schoolchildren, but I think the best person for you to contact would be Susan Crombe from Adopta School. She is on Facebook if you wish to contact her.
There are some pitfalls to be aware of and Susan will know them best. Things to avoid are not to make the Bali children envious of what they may be lacking. (eg. don't send photos of the family standing in front of the family limousine with the three storey mansion in the background)
Just be mindful of the situations and the exchange will be very rewarding.
We always believe it is fine to modernize but not westernize.
Just my view.
Cheers
Noel
