It's also the time of the year that Operation Christmas Child worldwide starts collecting shoe boxes to be distributed to more than 135 different countries with the objective to meet critical needs of victims of war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster. Boxes from Australia and New Zealand are sent to South East Asia and the South Pacific.
We had the opportunity to fill up one box and Agnes already feels like packing for next year's box(es)! Our prayer for the child who will be receiving this box that we have packed:
May the Lord grant her peace, joy, love and hope this Christmas, and may she be able to realize her full potential as a human being, find meaning in her life, and fulfill her calling whatever it may be.
Awwww Agnes when i saw this post i checked the website out! Always wanted to do something like that but only read about it in storybooks...was so bummed when i found out they only picked up boxes from New Zealand and Australia...
ReplyDeleteYou guys know of any similar works in M'sia? =)
Merry christmas in advance too =)
hello dr! :D well, it's one of those things where you end up getting so blessed just thinking about how small effort like these can mean so much to others... i have not heard of an organisation doing this in malaysia but you know what, we can always start small wherever we are. for example, if you speak to uncle kah yee and see how many kids there are in the OA village that bsgc is involved in, maybe you can gather a few others to join you and pack some shoe boxes? well, just something to think about... :)
