Team Hope delivers gifts to children living in poverty across Africa and Eastern Europe.
Schools across Mayo are being encouraged to support children living in poverty worldwide by registering for the Hope Appeal.
Team Hope delivers gifts to children living in poverty across Africa and Eastern Europe. As it marks its 15th year of the Christmas Shoebox Appeal, Team Hope is appealing to schools to get involved by logging onto teamhope.ie.
Team Hope has delivered over 2.8 million shoebox gifts and this year expects to the three million mark.
“A simple shoebox, often packed by children for children, carries not only toys and treats but also the invisible gifts of love and hope,” said Team Hope CEO, Deborah Lowry.“That kindness, travelling across oceans, reminds a child that they are not forgotten – that someone, somewhere cares.
“In a world where headlines often highlight what is broken, the Christmas Shoebox Appeal stands as a powerful demonstration that the world is also filled with kindness.”
