The councilors of Women and Culture, Elena Casado and Maido Simó, together with the evangelical missionary Dámaris Juárez, announced this week the launch of Operation Child of Christmas. Every year millions of shoe boxes filled with gifts (school supplies, personal hygiene items and toys) are distributed to the world's neediest children.
These boxes are donated by people who show their love and solidarity by preparing the boxes with new products and taking them to the Delivery Points throughout the peninsula.
In the case of Águilas this year, as in the past, there are two distribution points for the boxes, since the Department of Women of the Águilas City Council returns to join the solidarity project by delivering the boxes so that those interested can fill them with their gifts and deliver them on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m.
to 8:00 p.m.
at the Evangelical Baptist Church (Plaza Doctor Calero, 5), which in addition to being a collection point is also a box distribution point, at the same time.If you have not picked up your box, you are still on time, since the maximum delivery date is November 21. Niño de la Navidad is a global project of the NGO Samaritan's Purse, coordinated in Spain by the Evangelical Decision Association.
The logistics of the project are channeled through the Evangelical Churches that promote it to the whole of society, distribute advertising and collect the boxes in donor countries.
Schools, companies, associations, Catholic parishes and non-religious entities also participate.
The boxes are distributed in needy countries, to children without distinction of race, religion, sex or social class, with the Evangelical Churches of the destination country also being responsible for the logistics and coordinating the distribution of the boxes. Today, Operation Christmas Child is the largest humanitarian Christmas child project in the world.
Each year more than 11 million boxes are distributed in more than 100 countries around the world.
For this reason, the councilors have not hesitated to "encourage the aquilineans to participate in this beautiful project, whose recipients are children and thus give joy to those most in need." Along the same lines, missionary and pastor Dámaris Juárez pointed out that "it is a simple gesture that can bring hope and joy to children in precarious situations.
Together we can transform lives and share the true meaning of Christmas."
