Shoe Boxes for Romania

[The Nappy Lady]

Hi everyone,

Just wondered if there is anyone on the forum who happens to know a co-ordinator for these? My Mum knits hats to go in the boxes, and donates to a scheme up in Derbyshire normally but has done quite a few whilst with me down here, so wondering whether anyone is packing boxes locally?

Japs children contribute every year to the 'Love in a box' scheme run by the mustard seed relief mission. It's a brilliant idea and all the donating children get so much out of choosing items to go in their box.

Their website has details of how to donate/become a co-ordinator. Perhaps the EDF mothers can organise the 50 boxes required before they can be picked up.

The website is

Thanks Trinity,

I would imagine we could all easily donate a few items for these boxes, will investigate further.

The Salvation Army do a shoebox scheme each Christmas. Don't know any more details but maybe worth a google?

Dulwich Hamlet School packed shoeboxes for Romania last year so may do again this year?

Dulwich Hamlet School did do it last year and I have kept their literature as I thought I'd like my kids to do it again even if the school doesn't. Their website is www.linkromania.co.uk and Tel. 01903 529333.

If it helps, we'd be delighted to put the woolley hats in our boxes...!
