Operation Christmas Child

Aka Samaritan’s Purse is coming around quickly.

What: You fill shoe boxes and send them to a drop off station nearby

Where: They will then be sent to one of the 130 selected countries somewhere in the world.

Why: So that millions of children also get to participate in Christmas, receive a special gift and feel very loved.

How: A team of selected people deliver them personally

When: The boxes need to be at the drop off points by October

This year NCA would love to be a part of this incredible course and filing some children’s hearts with love and joy to help ‘make their year’

Each classroom will have 2 boy and 2 girl boxes to fill. Please send your child to school with one or two items to donate along with a gold coin. (For postage)

This is not much considering what they don’t have and how blessed we are.

What to bring:

Teddy bears, marbles, doll, soft toys, books, diaries, pens, pencils, sharpener, rubber, chalk, colouring in pencils, t shirts, underwear, beanie, tennis ball, skipping rope, yo-yo, finger puppets, soap, toothbrush, hairbrush, hair clips, hair-ties, necklaces, stickers, bangles, craft items…

What not to bring:

Any fluids or thing that could leak or melt, e.g. toothpaste, food, drink, play-dough, batteries, shampoo etc

Breakables, e.g. glass, mirrors or any damaged items

Harmful items, e.g. knives, guns, war related toys, toy guns

Gambling related items, including play money, cards and dominoes

Anything of a religious, racial or political nature.

We ask that your item/s and donation is brought to school no later than the end of the term.
