Part 4/10:

The Operation Christmas Child initiative, which started over 20 years ago, has transformed lives by allowing children to experience the joy of receiving. Each box sparks delight as children, often overwhelmed by their difficult circumstances, discover the treasures within. Some children react with disbelief, as was noted during a distribution in Ecuador: many have never owned a personal item before—a toothbrush, a doll, a soccer ball. The act of receiving such gifts embodies hope and love, illuminating their lives.
