Bosnia

In a poor Roma community on the outskirts of Sarajevo, Bosnia, shoeboxes are speaking words of love and hope into the lives of hundreds of children this Christmas.

Our partners in Bosnia explain the amazing difference these shoeboxes are making in the lives of the children:

12,860 shoeboxes left Guildford warehouse last week, packed into a lorry destined for Bosnia. The busy team were over the moon, having reached their target by sending an extra 760 boxes. Area Coordinator, Carolyn Gercke sums up the special moment, “It was very moving to see our lorry load go from Guildford. This was the first time we’ve done that, so it was really exciting!”
