Charitable Hearts

I am grateful on this day, 

Thursday 9th December 2010,

for Charitable Hearts

The one I'm thinking of today

is my very own

Charlotte.

Every year along with other charitable works 

here in the UK

'Operation Christmas Child'

gets under-way,

known as the 'shoe box appeal'.

Each shoe box is decorated

and filled with goodies,

labelled for boy or girl,

and taken to the collection point.

Last year 1.2 million shoe boxes

'bursting with joy'

were sent to

Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe, 

for children in need.
