Syria Shoebox Appeal

1. Shoebox4 Syria Appeal
• For the last week of term, all tutor groups
have the opportunity to put together a
gift box for a child to open in Syria to help
them to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
• This cause has been nominated by a
Beauchamp student, who has been
involved with it for the last three years
• The boxes will be sent to Syrian refugee
camps where they will arrive in time for
Eid al-Fitr at the end of June.

2. Why Support This Cause?
Children have paid the heaviest price in the Syria
conflict, and in 2016 their suffering hit rock bottom in
a drastic escalation of violence. Nearly 6 million
children now depend on humanitarian assistance,
with almost half forced to flee their homes. - UNICEF
Children in Syria are suffering from “toxic stress”, a
severe form of psychological trauma that can cause
life-long damage, according to a study that charts a
rise in self-harm and suicide attempts among children
as young as 12. - Save the Children
A gift box can help a Syrian boy or girl to simply be a
child, and enjoy something that gives them a chance
to just have fun. Please give generously!
