The story
When we discovered Operation Christmas Child, we knew we wanted to take part. We were kids once, and our childhood memories are treasures to us. In a year when the pandemic affected everyone, we wanted to be the reason a child could smile at Christmas.
We set ourselves a goal of 30 shoeboxes, one for each member of the association, and we plan to take part every year, doubling the number of boxes as we grow.
