The children at the primary school were told of the terrible living conditions of some children in Romania.  To brighten up their Christmas, children are being asked to fill a shoebox with lots of little items that would make a difference to a child's life: teddies, hats, gloves, pens, tennis balls, small toys but no liquids as these can leak and spoil the shoeboxes.  All shoeboxes are to be brought to the school office for collection.
