As part of the charity we are supporting, we had the opportunity to help with Operation Christmas Child. I think it's a great charity to support because it makes the lives of unprivilidged children, especially during Christmas time. This is the time where families get together and since all they have is each other, a small present can give the child a little extra. They can get toys, clothing, toiletries, sweets, stationary and even a letter.
So as a class we came up with the idea of a cupcake stall at the reception and all the proceeds goes towards O.C.C. In total we raised £50.45! We can then use this money to get the boxes sent off or to make more boxes. It was such a lovely event we had because everyone contributed in one way or another. We had a variety of cupcakes. We had chocolate fudge, vanilla and orange and poppy seed. The designs were also very well thought of. Springkles were very popular. We sold every single cupcake at the two sales we had which was great!
We also had generous donations to place in the boxes and we are all very grateful to them.
I think it's important to help with cases like these because everybody wants to be equal and if we could spread out food, water and clothing every single person could have something. Sharing is vital, we may not have everything spread out evenly right now but at least we're trying to help and that is a good start.
We hope that the boxes we made are distributed to the right places. That those children know that somewhere in the world somebody cares for them.
