Visit their websitePack for a Purpose does not condone visiting orphanages, as this can often lead to negative impacts on children. The accommodation or tour company working with the orphanage will deliver the supplies in a coordinated and respectful way so that the children can benefit from them. Your generosity is not diminished because you do not interact with the children.

Project Description
Bluff Beach School is a 10-minute walk from Turtle Beach House B&B. The school educates 19 children from 6 through 13 years of age who attend the school. There is one teacher and one classroom. Resources are very limited, and basic supplies like pencils and paper are a luxury for many of the children. The children are eager to learn, and the lack of school supplies, not to mention water, decent toilets and playground equipment sometimes make this difficult.
