Hiya Wharfie.
Our boys attend a Primary School in Perth which luckily enough has a sister school in Seminyak. Our school usually sends old text books ie English dictionarys and second hand reading books. Mainly books. It's alot of money for the Balinese to educate their children so exercise books, pens and markers also come in very handy. It's not so much what the parents can provide in the way of supplies - they only really need pencil and paper, but the resouces available to the schools themselves are very limited compared to Australian schools. Also play/sports equipment wouldn't go astray (footballs, tennis balls, skipping rope etc. Hope this helps!
