1. Please do not give milk formula or feeding bottles. They are potentially extremely harmful (especially in developing countries) and UNICEF policy is to encourage and support breastfeeding (if the mother can't do it for some reason, encourage her to find a relative who can).
2. Prosthetic limbs need to be professionally fitted for each person that needs one. Using someone else's will only lead to huge problems as it will only be ill-fitting (stump sores and ulcers, uneven gait with longer term hip and back problems etc). Better not to have one at all and try and get hold of a wheelchair or good pair of crutches. Even in Afghanistan people don't donate their used prosthetic limbs!
3. Also, please don't donate any kind of medications. There are strict guidelines on these as well. See http://www.unicef.org/nutrition/files/nutrition_code_english.pdf
4. Finally, to volunteer in Bali you need to have a Social/Cultural Visa. It is not permitted to do any volunteer/social work in Indonesia with only a Tourist Visa or Visa On Arrival (VOA), even if your stay is less than one month.
