Operation Christmas Child

​Operation Christmas Child was my ISP for the 2017-18 NHS year. Operation Christmas Child is a project that an organization named Samaritan’s Purse organizes. Operation Christmas Child helps children in need all over the world get a shoebox filled with toys, clothes, hygiene products, etc. as their Christmas present. In this ISP, I made flyers, and organized the shoebox pickup in the High School and Elementary School. NHS members then helped me wrap all the shoeboxes. I had 3 days dedicated for wrapping the shoeboxes, and, with some help, we got it all done! I delivered the 93 shoeboxes to a local church the following day. This project provided 93 kids with their own Christmas present and that’s pretty cool!    -Abby Brand
