Boxes of Hope are collected every year between late October and early November.[2] It is similar to the Salvation Army Christmas Present appeal. HistoryBox of Hope was founded by Nicole Woolhouse and Harriet Cleverly in April, 2008, and registered as a Charity in January, 2009. It was originally started to teach their own 6 children the gift of giving. One of the aims of the project is to encourage children ranging from 3 to 18 years to be aware of their environment/community and show them how they can help make a difference, in addition to providing educational and fun gifts for children in need throughout Asia. Since November 2008, more than 100,000 Boxes of Hope have been donated. 24,000 were donated in November 2015. [3] DonationsBoxes of Hope are collected every year in late October to early November. Donors donate by filling old medium-size shoe boxes (approximately 18 x 30 x 13cm) with new interesting and educational gifts. Gifts must be new. They can be toys, educational supplies, hygiene items, or accessories. Donors are asked not to bring food, medication, war-related items, clothing, fragile items, liquids and dangerous items. The box and the lid is to be individually wrapped and secured with an elastic band. A sticker is then stuck on the lid of the box, indicating the type of gift inside, the age and gender the gift is suitable for, and a message to the child. The boxes are then dropped off at collection points and delivered directly to the children in need.[4][5] There were more than 60 collection points in 2016, the majority of them being schools or kindergartens.[6] Donors can also send a donation of $200 instead, to help deliver 20 boxes to children in need.[7] RecipientsThere are a number of recipients of the Box of Hope worldwide.[8]
