My sister will be leaving for her first overseas holiday to Bali. She will be visiting a school as part of her tour. She is from South Africa and wants to take gifts for the school kids. What do you suggest she takes them?

I think pencils, crayons, papers and school bags are the best.

I will tell her that. Sounds like a good idea. Perhaps she should cover the books with wrap that will remind them of South Africa.

Usually they don't understand English. Maybe if she can give them English alphabet books or flash cards about action words, animals, fruits, colors, parts of the body that will be a great. Help too

I think everybody is always suggesting the same. I would suggest to buy it over there. This way she will always support the people over there having a shop. I don't think it will be more expensive as at home. Also this is a nice way to make contacts.

You really have a point there. I hope they will have the same stuff that we have here in South Africa. You sure it will not be more expensive in Bali though?

What about something that is related to school, like pencils with a South African flag on them? That might be inexpensive and easy to transport - or perhaps an eraser would be a good gift. It is difficult to know what to take to another school!

yes, it is somewhat difficult as she would like the children to remember her. I like the idea of the flag - it should be a small one though. i am not sure how many children she will see. Thank you.

This will be nice things she will be doing and surely meeting the children she will remember her tour. Any way if she is going to meet small children ask her to take drawing book, color pencil/crayon, tiff-in Box,water bottle and school bag - if everything fits in her budget. If possible asked her to conduct sort of drawing competition and collect those drawing as her memory about her visit to that School when she was on tour to bali.

Happy New Year to you too. I think that I will tell her to focus on stationary and perhaps the puzzles. Thank you so much.
