Operation Christmas Child














I have been wanting to post about this for several months!









This year I participated in Operation Christmas Child.


This is an operation which usually occurs annually where participants use their own or buy an empty shoe box, (I bought mine from the organisation for about 50 cents each) and fill it/them with toys and gifts for a child in a country in need.

This year they are possibly being sent to Papua New Guinea. The last time I helped with a Christmas box was when I was about 10, my Mum and I completed it.









Anyway I just wanted to show you how mine turned out. They can still be made and donated until October 25 in Australia. I'm not sure if it is the same date for donators in New Zealand.


This box is for a 10-14 year old girl.









This box is for a 5-9 year old boy.







Operation Christmas Child is a great way to bring hope and joy into the lives of many children who may have never received a Christmas gift before.


This is a link about it from the organisation, Samaritan's Purse.
