  1. Hello
    I am interested in helping this little girl wth money to help wth school fees and pocket money.
    We are visiting Bali in August and thought she might like some clothes and things from my 6 year old grandaughter. Would it be possible to meet her and her family and give these to her?
    My husband and I would also be interested in volunteering wth you for a few days or half days.
    Thank you
    Lesley
