I just thought you said it was not free, so I found that unusual, thought I could talk to the Camat and the Bupati for you about free schooling. we pay for 115 children's books and uniforms (this year we got a kind donation from a school in South Australia), we get the uniforms made in bulk so works out cheaper. It costs us so little to send them, about 200,000rp per child for all uniforms and books, pens etc and most pass the uniforms on so we do it yearly, this year 8 mil for new uniforms for all. The kids that live far from the school eat on us as well as the others can go home for food.

Keep up the good work, it's so pricey in the South we are still saving for when they all reach high school age (no choice but the South for SMA), our house in the South may be overflowing.
