Shoebox Scheme

Gifts for under privileged children


This year our Club collected just under 400 boxes thanks to the generosity of people in Basingstoke. These were passed to our Rotary District for distribution. Over 24,000 boxes were eventually sent to Albania, Montenegro, the Philippines, Moldova and Kenya and delivered to some of the poorest children in the world many living in orphanages and in conditions which we can barely imagine. You can imagine the joy each child has when they are given a Shoebox filled with small gifts.

On their behalf Rotary would like to say "Well done" and a big "Thank you" to all who supported the appeal. Please support us again in October 2014.
