Christmas in the shoe box: give hope and joy for children!

In a moving Christmas greeting, District Administrator Richard Reisinger (CSU) appealed to the people in the Amberg-Sulzbacher Land not to give up hope in these difficult times. In view of global conflicts and economic uncertainties that put a strain on society, Reisinger hits a bridge to the traditions of past Christmas and encourages to preserve joy and courage. He quotes Joseph von Eichendorff's well -known Christmas poem and reflects that there was no idyll at the time of Jesus' birth. Despite the challenges, the hope of a better future is the central Christmas wish of the district administrator, such as Middle Bavarian reports .

But there are also bright spots: the "Christmas in the shoebox" campaign, in which gifts for needy children in Eastern Europe are collected, has been under the patronage of District Administrator Reisinger for 26 years. Jedida Strobel and Ulrike Straub are responsible for this, which explained in an impressive presentation how the parcels come to their goal. A touching example is the story of Alen Hunjek, who experienced war dress in Croatia as a child and when he received a gift through this action was made happy. Today the family man is actively involved in the initiative, which many children would like to reach again this year, such as News Oberpfalz reports .

The packed packages, filled with toys, clothing and hygiene articles, are distributed to children in countries such as Bulgaria, Georgia, Latvia and the crisis -shaken Ukraine. Each contributed euro is a valuable investment in the joy of life of the children and ensures that this important Tradition can continue to be continued in the future. If you want to participate, you will find numerous tax offices in the cities of Amberg and Sulzbach-Rosenberg, at which the gift packages can be admitted by November 15th. This action impressively shows how great hope can be given through small gestures.
