Operation Christmas Child 2010 October 01, 2010 15:29 by Rob Williams
You can bring hope and a smile to some of the world's poorest children.
This annual project enables caring individuals, families, schools, churches, businesses, and other organisations to fill ordinary shoe boxes with small toys, school supplies, sweets, and other gifts for needy children around the world. Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes.
Operation Christmas Child is the world's largest children's Christmas project. Since 1990 the project has brought the joy of Christmas to more than 47 million boys and girls throughout the world. Last year we sent 1.24 million shoe boxes from the UK to children in hospitals, orphanages, Internally Displaced Persons camps, homeless shelters and impoverished neighbourhoods. With your help we want to reach even more children in the poorest parts of the world in 2010.

OCC is a racist, homophobic, fundamentalist evangelical christian organisation who take advantage of vunerable children in order to proselytise using your freely given gifts in order to bribe children to proffess to extremist Christian faith! They have been condemed by the Charities Commission for 'dishonesty'. Please research before you decide to support.

I have researched it as DaRufe suggests. These allegations are not true. Ignore these bigoted scrooges who want to take the "Christ" out of Christmas and the joy out of giving. Some people really do need to lighten up a bit.

Racist? Is that why so many kids in Southern Africa (my part of the world) were given Shoe-boxes a couple of years ago?
Yes, Samaritans Purse also offer a Christian message; is there a problem with that? Would you rather it was the state-sponsored religeon of secularism?
