She's not a little one though. The family have 4 children and have just pulled them all out of school as dad isn't catching as much fish as usual. We already put his little girl back in primary school last week, it's his older girl Nengah, this year she is in Junior high (well was) and next year she is supposed to go to Senior High but she will need to board nearer to the school, right now she is digging and planting in the fields with her mother.
I can help you with meeting her family (they live in a grass hut) and going to the school personally and paying for her tuition. It is always best to pay directly to the school and purchase items yourself such as uniforms etc to ensure they get there.
If you are interested let me know, it's the high school that is usually a problem for parents to send kids to (in the remote areas they have primary schools but rarely high schools)
