- Something for school,
- Something to love,
- Something special
- Something for personal hygiene
for boys and girls in ages 2-14 years. If you wish to fill a box please ensure you cover the transport cost.Otherwise you can provide goods or a donation towards the transport costs and place in the box in the foyer of each church.
