Operation Christmas Child: This year, through a campaign called Operation Christmas Child run by the UK charity Samaritan’s Purse, Glapthorn School is joining with thousands of other schools up and down the country in the world’s largest Children’s Christmas Project, by wrapping, packing and sending shoeboxes full of gifts – things like tooth brushes, toothpaste and soap, hairbrushes, pens, pencils, something to write on, toys or games - to needy children around the world. Your child should have brought home a leaflet at the end of term which gives you information about how you can get involved. Through this campaign, we want to teach children here in the UK about generosity and compassion for other children who need to know that they are loved and not forgotten, children who in some cases, do not have the food, home, or toys that we take for granted. Taking part in this project will give your child the opportunity to not only transform a shoebox, but to also transform a life. By donating very simple and yet practical gifts you can make a huge difference in the life of another child this Christmas. We hope that you will want to get involved with us in this year’s Operation Christmas Child campaign and help us reach needy children with shoebox gifts that bring love, hope and joy this Christmas. If you wish to participate but are unable to fill an entire box, we will also be providing a box at school for you to put contributions to go towards collaborative boxes. Please watch the following video to see the journey of a shoebox... https://youtube/watch?v=FlC_sHK4mjs
