Christmas Shoe Box Charity with ELB & Baptist Aid

Dear Erasmus & International students, We believe that you all had so many great experiences in our beloved, beautiful little country, Hungary. Now, at Christmas time, it's time to give back also a little love 💝

🎁 Let's do charity, and help to make Christmas happier for those children who need it the most! Take your shoe boxes full of little gifts, and you will be rewarded by not only the pride of making a kid in need happy but also by gift from ELB: free entry to our Christmas & Goodbye Party - on the 14th December in Heaven Club! Event: facebook.com/events/6807367756023427

🎅🏻 The gifts will be delivered to public children homes, family organizations, hospitals, schools taking care of disabled children, associations, foundations, and NGOs.

💙 The partner in this will be the volunteers of the Hungarian Baptist Aid (http://ciposdoboz.hu), who has been helping on great scale for several years, and we are proud to be partners for the 5th year already!

HOW TO GIVE YOUR GIFT? The children will be the happiest to receive the following: - Youth games, fairy tale books - Hygienic tools - Candies, cookies - School equipment - Also, you can attach a little letter with your best wishes, and a photo of yourself with your friends, family.

🎄Please write on the box with big letters for who do you aim to give your gift, e.g. "GIRL, 8 years old" Please do NOT put medicines, fragile things, and perishable food in the boxes. IMPORTANT for the wrapping: please wrap the top and bottom of the shoe box separately, and then tie or tape it together, because they will need to open the boxes before giving it to the children (due to safety reasons).

❓ WHEN AND WHERE TO BRING YOUR GIFT? - You can bring it to one of the many collecting points until the 18th of December, full list and opening hours here: ciposdoboz.hu/gyujtopontok - You can also bring it to our office (Szt.
