* Children's round ended safety scissors only, for this age group.
N.B. No medicines, vitamin tablets, matches, perishables, PLEASE.
Think up your own ideas for items to place in the boxes.
- share these with us - we always welcome new ideas!
If in doubt as to suitability of any item, please check with us.
PLEASE: DO wrap your shoebox neatly in giftwrap. Cover lid separately so it can be lifted
off. Secure with an elastic band.
DO NOT wrap contents individually.
DO fill the box - think about the child or person and what you are sending them. You'll
find each box will take on a 'personality' and you will really enjoy this privileged task.
DO PLEASE clearly label the lid.
HAVE A GO *** JOIN THE FUN *** FILL A BOX (or TWO)
|
|
PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE:
Medicines, vitamins, matches, perishables, reading books, anything worn or broken,
war toys, things that need batteries, glass, fragile items, tinned meat, fish, items with an
insecure lid that may open/spill and spoil the contents.
|
Please bring your Shoeboxes to a Theosophical Society event such as a Public Lecture, a
Federation event, a National Council meeting or Summer School. The Boxes will then be given to
the correct people for transportation abroad.
Thank you in anticipation.

Secretary and Co-ordinator: Cynthia Trasi, 66 Kirkgate, Shipley,
