1 - Get a box.
You can use any shoe box or purchase a plastic box from Lighthouse for just $2.00. The plastice boxes are great because they can be used as storage and actually become part of the gift.
2 - Fill a box
This is the fun part where you go shopping. Fill your shoe box with toys, school supplies, hygeine products and anything else you can think of that a child would love. Attach your label and mark it appropriately. Don't forget to include $7.00 for shipping in each box or donate online and print a label that can be tracked and you will learn what country your box went to.
3 - Change a life
It is amazing how much joy a simply shoe box full of gifts can bring to a child. What to us is a 44 cent pack of pencils can mean the difference between going to school or not for a child. That $2.00 plastic box can become a container to fetch water.
It really is just that simple to change a life. |
