Thousands of shoeboxes filled with gifts are now on their way to deserving children around the world just in time for Christmas.

According to John Dyck, one of the Coordinators of the local campaign, boxes collected in Estevan will now be shipped to destinations such as Uruguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Ivory Coast.

 

Operation Christmas Child is an initiative where participants fill shoeboxes with various items for underprivileged children in countries around the world.
