Pupils with their Christmas shoe boxes
CHILDREN in need will get a boost this Christmas thanks to the generosity of pupils at Taunton Pre-prep school.
They collected gifts in shoe bozes as part of the Samaritan's Purse initiative.
The boxes will be hand delivered to a child in need by volunteers.
Last year, they sent 1.3 million shoe boxes from the UK to children in hospitals, orphanages, Internally Displaced Persons camps, homeless shelters and impoverished neighbourhoods.
