ONCE again, Year 7 and 8 students from John Kyrle High School have been donating lots of Christmas present items to fill up decorated shoe boxes.

The shoe boxes are part of the Operation Christmas Shoe Box appeal that the Samaritan's Purse initiates every year to provide many less well-off children in developing and war torn countries some joy at Christmas time.

Thanks to the students' generosity and organisation by school staff, many boxes were prepared and passed onto the collection point in Hereford in order to be sent off to this year's destinations.
