Spreading Christmas joy
Thirty-eight students from Hills Adventist College (Sydney, NSW) recently aided the packaging centre at Operation Christmas Child.
The year 7 students helped check, tape and pack 3000 Christmas boxes for children who may have never received a Christmas gift before. The boxes will be distributed in the Philippines, Fiji and Cambodia.
School chaplain Josh Stothers said helping Operation Christmas Child is an annual activity for year 7 students and “it’s a huge highlight”.
“The kids were so happy to be serving and to see and understand that there are kids across the world who have never received a present . . . it was really eye opening, he said.
