While in Bali we are visiting a school past Singaraja. We visited this school last year and gave out clothes to all the kids. Through email with our good friend and driver I have found out that most of these children have no shoes or schoolbags. Through family and friends we are putting together money to be able to buy all the kids a pair of shoes and school bag once we get to Bali. Our friend/driver is currently getting a list of all the children and their shoe sizes. Can anyone suggest somewhere in Bali where I can purchase bulk amounts of shoes, school bags and pencil cases. There are about 60 kids at this school. My husband and I are also buying them all pens, pencils, rulers, exercise books, pencil sharpeners etc. as well as buying the school some sporting goods such as soccer balls, skipping ropes etc. We will also buy chalk, pens, pencils etc for the teachers at the school. We will buy all these other items at Makro. How much do you think we should allow per child to supply the school bags, shoes and pencil cases? We were thinking about 50 000 Rp per kid should cover it. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
