We have been donating pocket sized toys for the child refugees in Syria. This is because they have had to abandon all their toys and belongings in their homes and move away with nothing. The toys had to be pocket sized as the gifts need to fit inside pockets or boots.
This photograph is of us organising and counting the toys. We collected 149 toys altogether in just 2 weeks!
We started to pack, but there was one problem the box had to weigh less than 10kg. Phew it only weighed 8.3kg! The box was too big for the bathroom scales so we had to weigh Holly first by herself and then with the box. Then we took Holly’s weight away!
We feel proud of ourselves for helping the refugees. We hope that it brightens their lives and makes them happy.
I think it’s great sending toys to homeless children.
What a lovely thing to do. Those toys will mean so much to the children who receive them. Well done Ollaberry School!
I think it was great I felt so happy when I knew I might make people smile!
What a super idea Ollaberry, I’m sure they will be very welcome. Well done to you all.
