Motivated by not knowing what to do with the numerous wedding souvenirs that ended up collecting dust in random corners of the house, I went slightly out of my way to find these.

These fragrant jasmine soap wedding souvenirs were purchased from Sekolah Kami, a non-profit school for under-privileged children and scavengers.  Aside from normal curriculum, the school also teaches vocational skills, such as making these pretty little soaps.  Sekolah Kami can be contacted via their patron, Ibu Irina Amongpradja (Ina), at +62816831507. Please have a look at their inspiring website at www.sekolahkami.web.id.  

The batik wrappings were self-wrapped by yours truly (helped by Mom), inspired by the Japanese paperless tradition of wrapping presents the furoshiki way.  In my opinion, batik wraps are a natural way for Indonesians to wrap presents!  The wraps can be reused as handkerchiefs.
