Most of the disabled kids are either hearing (about 12 of them) sight (3) & intellectually (4) impaired. They are cute kide aged about 5 to 16 years & very appreciative. We usually take cheap toys from Oz & buy rice, noodles, sugar, tea etc in Bali at Alpha or Makro. (who also sell blankets towells etc). Gusti knows other markets & he will take you there & negotiate for you & interpret at the Orphanage. In our many trips to Bali Gusti is by far the best driver we have used since we met him about 2 years ago. He also lives not far from Ubud. He meets us at the airport with a welcoming Bintang or soft drink. His English is excellent.
