Our KS2 Sanctuary Leaders visited New Life Church in New Milton on Wednesday, to deliver 30 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child!
New Life Church is the New Forest 'hub' for the shoeboxes this year, where other local schools and the community are bringing their donations for Operation Christmas Child.
The Sanctuary leaders helped Mrs Rothwell pack further shoeboxes, using donated items, including some beautiful crocheted hats, scarves and toys made by members of our local community. They also wrote some lovely messages of hope and joy to send with the boxes.
Aiden said: "I feel like Father Christmas at Christmas time!"
Our Chair of Governors, Clare Barfoot, has also kindly supported the appeal by purchasing QR codes for us to track some of our shoeboxes around the globe! Last year, one of our boxes went to China! We can't wait to find out where our boxes will go this year!
Thank you to all families who supported the Operation Christmas Child Appeal. Your work supports Global Goal 10 - Reducing Inequalities, and Global Goal 17- Partnerships for the Goals - whereby everyone working together can make a difference. We know that our Christmas Shoeboxes really will bring joy and hope to many children around the world at Christmas time.
