Shoebox appeal 2008

Breaffy N.S. have taken part in the Christmas Shoebox appeal for the last five years.

Over two million of the world's most disadvantaged children have received a Christmas Shoe Box packed with gifts from Ireland. Last year 13,000 shoeboxes came from Mayo. They went to needy children from Romania, Belarus, Croatia, Ukraine, Armenia, Mozambique, Swaziland, Kosova and Zimbabe. Many of these children are in orphanages, "Street -Kid" shelters, hospitals or in families stuck in the poverty trap. It brings hope ,joy and happiness to each child.

Thanks to all the children and parents of Breaffy N.S. for the generous contributions they have made to the Christmas Shoebox Appeal and for the time, effort and love they have put into preparing the shoeboxes.
