* 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.
If you have any difficulty, please contact Cynthia Trasi, Hon.
Co-ordinator,
Theosophical Order of Service, 66 Kirkgate,
Shipley, West Yorks BD18 3EL
