Excellence For Every Child Every Day

This year, through a campaign called Operation Christmas Child run by the UK charity Samaritan’s Purse, Rivelin school is joining with thousands of other schools up and down the country in the world’s largest Children’s Christmas Project, by wrapping, packing and sending shoeboxes full of gifts – things like tooth brushes, toothpaste and soap, hairbrushes, pens, pencils, something to write on, toys or games - to needy children around the world. Please take time to read the enclosed information about this campaign and find out for yourself the impact it has on the life of a child, families and communities in Africa, Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Through this campaign, we want to teach children here in the UK about generosity and compassion for other children who need to know that they are loved and not forgotten, children who in some cases, do not have the food, home, or toys that we take for granted. Taking part in this project will give your child the opportunity to not only transform a shoebox, but to also transform a life. By donating very simple and yet practical gifts you can make a huge difference in the life of another child this Christmas.
