2. Operation Christmas Child
Practical gifts are so important. These children are thrilled to receive items like toothbrushes, combs, and brushes. Some may have never had their own before.
Simple items of clothing like t-shirts, socks, or a hat are wonderful because some of the children may only own one shirt.
School supplies like pencils, small tablets of paper, crayons, etc. are great as sometimes children aren't allowed to attend school unless they can provide their own supplies.
Toys are great (and the children love them, too), but they shouldn't be the biggest emphasis of the box.
Only hard candy is allowed in the boxes. No chocolate or other food can be shipped overseas. A little candy is fine, but practical gifts are best.
