I know that the camera would be a huge hit!. Most of them have never seen a photo of themselves or have a pic of their family. Last time I was there I was working in the childrens ward of the hospital, I took pics of their children for each of the parents. It was difficult though because I had to go get them developed then bring them back the pics. Their reaction was so touching, for most of them it's the only photo they've ever had of their child. So I definitely think I'll try to buy one before I go. Are the photo refills expensive?
I have one of them, in both the size that makes the business card size photos and the one that makes the regular sized, and usually if you buy in bulk on amazon, you can get a better deal for the refills. I mean, there's still expensive, but you can definitely bring it down to under a $1 a photo (which if you only get one pack of 10 for a refill, you'll be paying more than that.) So if you get one, definitely buy the refills in bulk - you'll use them all eventually anyways.
