I received an email this morning that the shoeboxes we personally prepared went to
Indonesia. According to the web site,
Twenty-eight percent of Indonesia’s 242.9 million people are 14-years-old or younger. In 2009, 82,392 shoe box gifts were delivered to children in Indonesia, which first received the gifts in 2000. Since then, 980,479 children have received a shoe box gift.
These aren't the kids that got our boxes, but here are pictures of other happy kids getting a box.
Please consider supporting this ministry throughout the upcoming year. You can
shop for little gifts year round and fill a number of shoeboxes on a "shoestring". Sorry, couldn't resist! I found a website with instructions for
making yarn dolls, and it's something Goober Gus can help me with, so that he's part of the giving also. Full price yarn is $3 around here and it will make at least 4 dolls. We'll be on the lookout for yarn at yard sales now too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Glad to hear your boxes are headed out and kids will receive those for Christmas. Glad they shared an update with you.
