Obviously, our kids have very little outlet due to the pandemic. I feel that a little adventure is necessary. Maybe, thru story books. 
My kids are from the Philippines and India (ages 10-15). Looking for suggestions so I can tell them or google so I can find out price as well.  
Also, what's a kid friendly free sites for those with tablets or laptop? I navigated some sites, but it seems too busy. It needs to be simple and to the point.

I don’t know about recommending any specific books, but Tulika books operates out of India, so you can order them and (when the centers open) the children can come and pick up the books. I believe one can only do one direct present box a year to each child (I could be wrong), but it would be a great way to get books directly to them. Another sponsor recently did an education EG and asked that the child be gotten some books, so her mommy and the child got to pick them out, so perhaps thats a nice option as well.

Thank you Kiyoshi. It never hurts to ask.

Being in a pandemic makes it so hard. You might be interested to know there’s an Amazon equivalent in the Philippines, too. So maybe in time that will yield results :) as a note, in the Philippines President Duarte recently made college education much, much more affordable for disadvantaged kids. So your kids might be able to get a higher education with some encouragement and a little help. You seem to really care about them, so I figured I’d mention it to you.
