Presents On Their Way To Armenia

PRESENTS ON THEIR WAY TO ARMENIA

The Northern Echo, UK

CHILDREN in Armenia will have a happy Christmas this year – thanks
to youngsters in Hurworth.

Pupils at Hurworth School sent 134 shoeboxes, packed with essentials
and presents, to the former soviet republic.

The collection was part of the Samaritan Shoe Box Appeal, Operation
Christmas Child, which sends the boxes to impoverished children across
the world.

Food technology teacher Rita Rees joined in the collection.

"I did a box with a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a doll, some crayons,
and a wooden toy.

"All the children have really enjoyed helping others at Christmas.

"We’ve had assemblies about giving, and they’ve all got involved."

The collection was organised by Clare Suddes, head of performing arts.

The Early Learning Centre, in Middlesbrough, also donated toys and
gifts to the appeal.
