Christmas
Shoe Boxes
This is the seventh
year running that Churston Ferrers Grammar School has helped
disadvantaged children throughout the world. Operation Christmas
Child is an initiative of Samaritan's Purse – a Christian relief
and development organisation which works through local churches
overseas amongst communities in need in Africa, Eastern Europe
and Central Asia. |
|
Operation Christmas Child is the
world's largest children's Christmas project – devoted to spreading
love, joy and smiles to children who really need them in disadvantaged
parts of the world. Some of these children have never received
a Christmas gift in their entire lives. |
Overall 62 boxes were donated by
Churston students this year and these are currently speeding
their way by plane, boat, lorry, camel to countries such as
Swaziland, Kyrgyzstan, India and Ukraine just to mention a
few.
This was part of
the schools “Children In Need” fundraising events.
Thank you to everyone
who contributed to this worthwhile cause.
