do for a child of that age.. I took 3 of my 4 kids to a very good friends home stay in Kuta, which is very poor living conditions, worse than the village conditions. My kids felt terrible for our friends and they begged me to help them... They now seem to appreciate there home more than they did before and save all their old things they don't use any more to take back to Bali and give to our friends.. I have 1 that has not been and seen this and he is next to see how the other world lives as he is now a teenager and thinks he is very hard done by. 6 more weeks and I hope this will change his attitude towards his home life here and appreciate the things he has..
We are also going to 1 of the schools over there for them all to see, and meet the children we sponsor.
