Update on Christmas Shoeboxes 2020

An update on the 15 trackable Christmas shoeboxes out of the 26 boxes I donated.

The 6 shoeboxes are on their way to Madagascar. Estimated arrival date and for distribution is sometime in Feb 2021/Mar 2021. Six shoeboxes for 6 disadvantaged kids in Madagascar. Thank you.
 

Christmas shoeboxes (2020) for Samaritan's Purse

 These Christmas shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse were picked up yesterday for distribution to disadvantaged children to enjoy this Christmas. This year's locations for distribution I believe are Fiji, Cambodia, Vietnam and Madagascar and any of these 26 boxes could end up in any of these 4 locations.

Inside these Christmas shoeboxes are well-thought of items which I believe the recipients would love and enjoy. Each shoebox includes a handmade dress, undie, a pair of socks, a tote, 2 exercise books, 2 pens, a box of coloring pencils, a toothbrush, an eraser, a colour-me-card for a child to create their own work of art, a few buttons to wear and/or pin on their tote and a fabric picture Christmas greeting card.  For the handmade dresses most of which were donated, you can check them out here. A small sum was also donated for these boxes which you can find here. My sincere thank you to all those who contributed to this distribution.

Inspite of everything that has happened and still happening around us and around the world, it was nice and felt great to still be able to make a difference to the less fortunate kids this year.

Be safe everyone!

Dress Distribution #122 - Christmas Shoeboxes 2020

 Christmas is just around the corner and soon we will be welcoming the new year. Well, I cannot let the year 2020 go away without making a difference to at least a few disadvantaged kids so I decided to donate 27 of the last few dresses I still have in my possession to Samaritan's Purse for their Christmas Shoebox project. I have made 26 Christmas shoeboxes and each box has one each of the dresses below. Click on the image below or click here to see a larger version of the individual dresses -  

I needed to finish all the boxes by today so there was no time to identify who the donors are of some of the dresses but thank you to all who donated these dresses. It is much appreciated. When I purchased the boxes I was told that this year's shoeboxes will be distribubuted in Fiji, Cambodia, Vietnam and Madagascar. I will be following the journey of 15 boxes so hopefully by early next year I would know where the boxes were sent more specifically for the 15 Christmas shoeboxes.
