Over 11,000 Christmas parcels are being sent out from Leicester today on their way to children in Swaziland. It's all a part of 'Operation Christmas Child', which is run by the charity Samaritans Purse. They send shoeboxes of gifts to poor, refugee and orphaned children all over the world every year. And for many of them, these gifts will be the only presents that they'll receive. Volunteers have been packing up the shoeboxes in a big warehouse at the New Covenant Church in Freemans Common- and Â鶹Éç Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair has been to meet them.
