Gift filled shoe boxes off to Kenya
DURING the past six weeks a group of women and men from the Ballymena area have been working in Ahoghill receiving, checking and packing the many gift-filled shoe boxes kindly donated by schools, churches and individuals in the community.
The group works within the Samaritan’s Purse Organisation who work with churches in many other countries in Eastern Europe and Africa to assist their communities to become self sufficient and more independent.
The idea behind the gift-filled shoe boxes is to bring some joy to the children in these communities and to let them become aware of the love of others for them.
