"Christmas in a Shoebox" is a wonderful opportunity to show charity for less privileged people and, above all, to put a smile and tears of joy on children's faces.
In a few weeks, Christmas is just around the corner, and many children in need would be happy to receive a gift for Christmas, possibly the first ever in their lives. Receiving a gift shows many children that life also has joyful moments.
We are pleased to support the "Christmas in a Shoebox" campaign of the Good Samaritans this year with the classes of the 5th grade as part of Catholic religious education.
According to the motto of the Good Samaritans "Love can be wrapped", our students made a great contribution. A big thank you to our students and their parents for their extensive participation and help in packing the beautiful gifts as well as for financial support for transport.
We would like to thank the Protestant congregation in Kufstein, which gave us a warm welcome when we handed over the gifts. Thanks also go to Deichmann Schuhe im M4 in Wörgl, who provided us with shoe boxes.
