ORM shoebox appeal...

Countdown to Christmas 2012 is an amazing children’s Christmas project, bringing joy into the lives of children living in orphanages since 2000. Last year, thousands of adults and children from across Ireland packed shoeboxes with little gifts and sent them to abandoned children across Moldova.

You will be able to track Santa on his journey from pick up to drop off with his amazing GPS enabled Reindeers. Visit our website www.outreachmoldova.org for details or contact us on (01) 2190268 or info@outreachmoldova.org

Step 3 Top up your box with gifts

Choose an age category from 2-18 years. Cut out either the boy or girl label and stick on the top of the lid. Make sure the label is secure with clear tape.

You can put anything you think a child/young adult would like into your box. You can also use the gift ideas list underneath for inspiration.
