do you have any...

Nick asked the head of the school we will be volunteering at if it was okay if we bring things for the children and what types of things would be best. This was her reply, if you have any of these small items around please let me know, I will come to you!

Yes it's a good idea, but please do not bring anything that would cost a lot as we do not want the children to think they get a lot from overseas volunteers. Here is a list below of things that you can bring if you have them at home :


- Old blanket or towel for animals

- White board marker

- Any educational game (easy ones)

- Calculator (it's good to teach them how to use one !)

- Puzzle (easy one)

- Card game

- Any little present that we can give them when we do game and that they win such as :

- cheap watch

- sample perfume (given usually when you buy perfume)

- any small cosmetic

- any small little cosmetic bag or accessories for girls

- any hygienic stuff like small soap, tooth brush, body lotion ect....

- small packet of sweets

- any small kitsch toy that usually privileged children get (it must be cheap as we don't want to give expensive present such as computer game ect....)
