CHRISTMAS SHOEBOX APPEAL 2017
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to the Christmas shoebox appeal this year; those who gave filled boxes, toys, stationary, soap, toothpaste, sweets, knitted dolls clothes, etc and made donations towards boxes. We delivered 423 shoeboxes to the Kells & Trim Team Hope centres where they will soon be collected for the long journey to Africa which is the destination this year. Having travelled to Ukraine in 2011 to help distribute shoeboxes to the children I can ensure you that it is a very special present for the children to receive. Thank you for helping make Christmas special for these children, it’s very much appreciated. Best wishes, Marella & Angela.
