Kia Ora! Talofa! Bula Vinaka and Hello to our Shoebox Christmas whānau all around the motu!
Thank you all for being super patient while our team of young leaders have been learning the ropes, mauri and essence of Shoebox Christmas! We appreciate everyone’s patience & eagerness to lend a hand and be part of our little community making a big difference!
So without further ado…

Christmas time for us who make up the Shoebox Christmas movement is all about making sure that not only our tamariki/children experience aroha, joy and happiness but also their whanau, our generous sponsors and you all who share that same idea and become our grifters! We can’t wait to go on this journey with you all.

PS we’re letting you know first - we’ll open up the main website in the next few days, so if you want to tell a friend please forward them this email.
PPS if you were forwarded this email, or are on the critical updates only list, please think about subscribing to our donors newsletter to hear updates from our schools, community services, and the rest of our team of rangatahi leading this kaupapa on our community’s behalf. It’s one way you can help keep our leadership programme and Shoebox Christmas runs again next year :)
