Students box up Christmas cheer

EVERY year, people of all ages pack shoeboxes with gifts for children in need around the world.

Inverloch Primary School students have helped Operation Christmas Child by packing boxes this term.

Globally, more than 100 million shoeboxes have been given to children in need in more than 130 countries since 1993.

The Inverloch students packed their boxes with special gifts including some 100 loom bands made during lunchtime activity sessions.

The boxes contain something to love like a soft toy, for school, to wear, to play with, for personal hygiene and something special.

While national collection month for shoeboxes is October, local coordinator Doreen Weston called in to collect the boxes at the Inverloch Primary School on Friday.
