Sorina was 11-years-old when a gift sent through OCC made her dream come true. Growing up in communist Romania, her family didnt have much. That particular Christmas she wished for a scarf, a hat and gloves because of the harsh winters. When Sorina opened her gift box, she found the very things she had hoped for: a brand new scarf, hat and mitten set! At the age of 17 she accepted Christ into her heart and was baptized shortly after. Ten years after receiving the gift, Sorina was teaching English at a school for underprivileged children in Romania. Through a connection with OCC, the school received 500 shoebox gifts to distribute to the students. The same hope that Sorina felt when she was younger filled the hearts of her students.
