operation christmas child is (i shall quote the next bit)

"Together with the Christian aid organization Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child provides an opportunity for you to pack a shoe box with essential items and suitable toys for children suffering from the effects of war, natural disaster, poverty or neglect.

Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes and Christian literature. This program provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to be involved in a simple, hands-on missions project that reaches out to suffering children while focusing on the true meaning of Christmas – Jesus Christ, God's greatest gift. "

yupyup.. as i was driving today, i got this sudden conviction to really do it.. it wont cost us much work.. for sure. and i know its exam time.. but it'll just take 10 mintues of your time at the store to get 1 item each.. then we'll put it together as a cell and send it off.. what say you? hehe. i'm doing one box on my own now. and i'm super excited :)

i'm listing the items below here, and if you can get it, please do tag on the board and bring it on friday :) we'll pack the box then, and i'll send it to the drop off point during the week :) i've taken the liberty to choose what age group to pack for.. so we'll do for a boy from age between 5 - 9 years.. k? so if u buy things, please cater in that direction :) they've given us some directions so it should make it abit easier..
