Thought for the summer
Rosemary Loyd
This month (June) I have received a newsletter from Samaritan’s Purse, the charity which masterminds the collection and despatch of the shoe boxes we fill on behalf of the very needy children in Africa, Eastern Europe and the states of the former Soviet Union.
Be Bold’ and Think Big’ are the slogans for this year’s Operation Christmas Child campaign, and we are asked to invite at least one other person to fill a shoe box. So please do gather friends, boxes and things to put in them over the coming weeks. Travel handouts (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, combs, pens, crayons and notebooks) are welcomed by the children.
