Who are we?
We are all volunteers living in and around Luxembourg that like to bring hope and love to needy children. Every year we pack standard sized shoeboxes with specific items ( hygiene items, toys, small items of winter clothing and school stationery including exercise books, photos and letters) for boys and girls aged 2-14 between September and early November.
The generosity of individuals, families, businesses, schools and churches makes this all possible as we collect, check and close boxes at the beginning of November, so they can be transported from Luxembourg directly to the HQ in Berlin. More information on the umbrella organisation Samaritan’s Purse e.V is available in English (die-samariter.org ). The HQ in Berlin takes the responsibility for the logistics of transportation and distribution of boxes.
Our boxes will be distributed in Eastern Europe (including Ukraine, Georgia, Romania and Moldova), normally before Christmas this year. Full list can be found here.
We are part of the global Samaritan’s Purse vision that has been providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world since 1970. Samaritan’s Purse is an international relief and development organisation that works through local churches to proclaim and demonstrate the love of God amongst communities in Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Samaritan’s Purse also has offices in the USA, Canada, Germany, and Australia.
