Operation shoebox

We are doing a project with Mrs. Hand (or bilingual English teacher) called: Operation shoebox. Operation shoebox means that someone like you (a school kid) puts nice stuff that an African kid wood like as a Christmaspresent in a shoebox. Things like:
-soap or shampoo
-school stuff
- a t-shirt
-a Christmas card
-toys that don't run on electricity (wooden toys, barbie's, etc.)
-an English book
-if you have it African money
The stuff has to be new or in a good condition. If you have enough presents you can decorate your shoebox with what ever you like. You also have to write on the box if it is for a boy or girl and for which age. You have to put elastic around it to keep it together in the airplane. After that you give the box to your English teacher andthan it will be send to Africa. I think it is very good idea to send a shoeboxbecause you only have to spend a few euros and than you can give anAfrican kid a beautiful Christmas.By Iris van der Zwan (12 years)
