Internationally, the campaign is known as "Operation Christmas Child". Since 1993, it has reached over 186 million children in over 150 countries worldwide. This year, the motto of the campaign is "Love can be wrapped". This season, the parcels from German-speaking countries will once again go to children in Eastern Europe, including Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine, to bring a smile and joy to the children at Christmas.
This year, EGS pupils from various year groups packed over 30 shoeboxes for boys and girls of different ages. Class 8c was particularly eager. The pupils lovingly decorated and packed the boxes and sent them on their way with personalized Christmas greeting cards.
Many thanks to the pupils for their commitment and personal involvement in this campaign.
