The Joy of a Box

The photos show some of the reactions that the children show when they receive their boxes. Because it is the first gift for many they are sometimes unsure that the whole box is for them and it can take a few minutes for the real excitement to sink in.

Our national partners love the children to hold the boxes over their heads so they can see a sea of shoe boxes and the children are encouraged to hold up the most precious item in their box. It is often hard to decide but the soft toy is a firm favourite, closely followed by the items for school.
