Hi Mum,
Operation Christmas Child
Last week Blinchick and my host went shopping for a project called Operation
Christmas Child. They told me it was an appeal where you fill an empty shoe
box with gifts and the shoeboxes are collected locally and sent across the world
to children who are less fortunate than us and would otherwise probably get no
presents this christmas.
I thought it sounded like a great idea so my host, her boyfriend, Blinchick and I
packed our boxes together this evening. First we had to wrap the box and its lid
in pretty christmas paper and then we had to fill the box with items from different
categories including hygiene, educational and toys.
This is my hosts shoebox:
There was a little mermaid pen, a cuddly toy dalmation, a notebook, toothpaste
and toothbrush, erasers, chalk, crayons, a flannel, hairbands and sweeties
in our box amongst other things.
The boxes have to be labelled with who we have made the box for, we chose a
little girl between the age of 5-9 years old.
Time to put a lid on it!
My hosts boyfriend made a shoebox up too, he decided to do one for a little boy
Well I better go mum,
til next time,
Mr Furrington
