Donations left at several places will find good homes.
One is the Indo National Restaurant in Sahadewa St Legian. The owners Kerry and Milton have established a good network amongst the needy.
Another place is the Adopta Coop which passes on things to the 'Rubbish Tip People'. Donations of almost anything connected with the essences of life will be welcomed and can be left at 135 Jl Pemogan, which is on the left as you travel the By Pass road towards Sanur. It runs parallel to the By Pass for some way before turning left. No 135 is quite a long way down the road. Ph Niluh on 0812 468 4554 for closer directions or driver Made on 0812 395 7296.
Another way is to ask at your hotel desk for directions to the nearest orphanage and leave your gifts with them. There are many in Bali and with the additional orphans from the recent disaster I understand that there is a sharing network established between them all.
