1. Blythswood Care Shoebox Appeal Brought to you by P5/4

2. What are we doing this for? Being kind and giving to others is something that God asks us to do. These shoeboxes go to some of the poorest places in Europe to help the people who live there. If we send a shoebox it will bring someone else some joy this Christmas. For some people this is the only present they will get.

3. To get started all you need is a box... You will need to fit all your items in the one box. It would be preferable if the box had a separate lid and was a standard shoe box. If your family want to make more than one we will gladly accept them

4. Suggestions of what you can put in your box... Toothbrush and toothpaste Hat/scarf/gloves Soap Toy car (boy) or small doll (girl) Stationary like pencils/crayons Colouring books/notepads Underwear/socks/tights Shampoo Comb/brush Face cloth Sweeties Household candles/kitchen utensils

5. The Rules Please follow these simple rules: All items in the box must be NEW. No chocolate or any food other than sweeties are allowed. Sweeties e.g. Haribo must have a date on them after March 2016. You can add toiletries like soap, but no talcum powder is allowed.

6. Who am I sending my box to... Your box will need to be labelled with who it is for so that it goes to the most suitable person: Girl (give age) Teenage girl Woman Elderly woman Boy (give age) Teenage boy Man Elderly man

7. The deadline P5/4 will collect the boxes from your classroom and bring them to the table outside our classroom. All boxes must be handed in by 18 th November 2015 (which is 2 weeks away!)

8. Make a difference by sending a gift with love One shoebox = Christmas joy and a world of difference in someone’s life GIVE A GIFT AND BRING SOME JOY!
