We are often asked by Westerners coming to visit Mysore what they could bring to our kids. Here's a list of practical and useful items that we can definitely use:
* girl's underwear (the boys wear slightly different styles from those in the US)
* rubber slippers, all sizes (our kids go through these like they're made of paper!)
* pencils and pens
* composition style notebooks
* bath soap bars
* laundry soap
* big bottles of shampoo
* small tubes of toothpaste
* skin moisturizer
