BookAid Indonesia is forming strong relationships with schools, teachers and students across the Indonesian island of Flores and surrounding islands.
Students studying English as a second language are poorly resourced in this remote area. BookAid Indonesia is helping to assist with the provision of library books and educational texts. BookAid Indonesia is also connecting Australian Bahasa Schools with Floresian Schools to foster 'two-way' language and cultural development.
