Real joy is in giving, not having or getting. Lord, may I become more willing to help others and share the blessings that have been given to me.

Hello,

We would like to share with you a project that a group of friends have started in Cairo which was initiated by organizations abroad and is called "The Shoebox". The aim of the project is to provide gifts for kids on Christmas day. And to plant in our kids the pleasure of giving other needy people. We are targeting cancer kids, Abu El Rish Hospital and street kids ranging in age from 4 - 13 years old.
We will provide you with an empty shoebox, and request that you:

1. Wrap it with colourful wrapping paper (IMPORTANT: each of the cover and the box separately)

2. Fill it with one of the gift sets below :

• Colouring book + colours + stuffed animal + pack of candies + chocolate
  or
• Socks + cap + pencil case (with couple of pens) + notebook + pack of
  candies + chocolate
  or
• A SET OF YOUR OWN ! + pack of candies + chocolat

3. NO's:

• Used stuff, we wanna give them new gifts
• Gifts containing any kind of liquids

4. It would be great if you wanna fill more than one shoebox, it is up to you

5. DEADLINE: MONDAY, December 30th*
* However it's never to late :)

6. Don't hesitate to contact me should you need further info or help

7. Make a print out of this to serve as a reminder

Your commitment = A child jumping out for JoY
