The campaign is described on the homepage as follows: "Christmas in a Shoebox"® is the most popular gift campaign worldwide. Internationally, the campaign is known as "Operation Christmas Child". Since 1993, more than 186 million children in over 150 countries have been reached worldwide. This season, the parcels from German-speaking countries will once again go to children in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine, to bring a smile and joy to the children at Christmas.
This year, the pupils at EGS packed a total of 6 shoe boxes for boys and girls of different ages. To do this, they drew up shopping lists and went shopping together in Epe. The pupils then lovingly decorated and packed the boxes and sent them on their way with personalized Christmas greeting cards.
We would like to thank the pupils of classes 6a and 8a for their commitment and personal involvement in this campaign.
