Yes, the kids at Mekarsari have got all their goodies also. We do it a little differently there because we are only sponsoring the neediest of the kids because the socio-economics are more varied. Hence the donations are made more privately.
However, as part of a separate literacy project, we are about to establish libraries & cleaner toilets that will benefit the entire student population.
The Distribution Days have worked well the last two years on the last weekend in August so we have decided on the same next year, altho I haven't checked to make sure it doesn't clash with Galungan or similar.
There is the other minor day in January also for the new ones plus everybody's second pair of shoes.
Cheers
