Operation Christmas Child  We will be supporting the project again this year. Each box is  to contain:

• something to wear,
• something to play with,
• something for school,
• something to love,
• something special
• something for personal hygiene

For boys and girls in ages 2-14 years. The boxes from New Zealand generally go to Asia or Pacific Island country.

You are all invited to support this by providing items as above or make a contribution    towards transport costs which is $10 per box. If you wish to fill your own box please remember to include the transport cost of $10. A box will be in each foyer for you to put in the items or leave the donation. I will have a supply of the OCC boxes available soon. For further information contact Judith 688 6004.
