- Please do not distribute candy or gifts randomly to children.
- If you wish to donate supplies, coordinate with your guide beforehand.
- Photography of children requires permission from teachers.
- The goal is mutual respect, not a one-sided experience.
- We support the school through ongoing partnerships, not one-time visits.
Questions
Can we bring sweets for the children?
Please don't. Gifts are given through the school, coordinated with your guide, never handed out at random.
