Can we bring anything for the Community/Donations?

Yes, but it is always best to communicate with us first to check what the priorities of the schools are. Some of the items you can find here in Swaziland. It is always appreciated when guests do give donations such as; sponsoring a school child to attend the school. This is often better as small gifts and tokens may soon be forgotten by the kids.
