Christmas is coming...

At Coby's Sing & Sign class today we were handed leaflets for Operation Christmas Child, an annual project organised by Samaritan's Purse who help meet the needs of victims of war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster. The idea is to fill a shoe box with lots of goodies such as cuddly toys, picture books, puzzles, sweets, crayons and colouring books. These are then sent, with the help of churches and charities, to children in hospitals, orphanages, refugee camps and impoverished neighbourhoods. Some children have NEVER received a christmas present in their lives so imagine the smiles on their faces when they receive these parcels!

We'll be filling our shoe box over the next week and passing on some of Coby's old toys to another child. If you would like to know more about this project, click on this link and discover how you can help a child experience the magic of Christmas.
