Rotary Shoebox Scheme - Trafalgar School gets involved
Mon, Nov 14th 2011 at 12:00 am - 2:00 am
Pupils from Trafalgar Junior School in Twickenham filled and decorated over 200 Rotary Shoeboxes to send to children, teenagers and families in Eastern Europe.
The three types of boxes were filled with items appropriate for the recipient so, for example, children would receive toys, teenagers would receive sportswear, gloves, scarves, writing material etc. and families would get various household items.
