Dawlish Water Rotary Club have again teamed up with Christian Response to Eastern Europe (cr2ee) to collect Christmas shoeboxes for the children of Moldova.
Many local schools are already actively engaged in collecting shoeboxes and these collections will be made to meet the deadline by the end of November. Moldova is one of the poorest countries in Europe; many children are orphans.
Rotarians will be manning a collection point for anyone to drop in a Christmas shoebox at the Strand Centre, Dawlish, onFriday, 21st November, between 9.30am and 1.30pm – or make a donation.
Shoeboxes should contain non-perishable goods – toothpaste, soap, shampoo, facecloth, hairbrush, combs, colouring pens, pencils, rulers, colouring books, scribbling pads, small games, hat, scarves, gloves etc. and marked for a boy or girl with the approximate age or a family.
