Part 9/10:
Since its inception, Operation Christmas Child has seen an exponential increase in participation. Initially starting from one church's collection of around 11,000 boxes, the movement has grown to accumulate over 230 million boxes sent globally since its launch, with 12 million boxes expected to be distributed this year alone.
The process is meticulous. Each box undergoes inspection at processing centers, ensuring that nothing inappropriate enters the hands of the children. The volunteers who oversee this process dedicate their time selflessly, embodying the spirit of giving that Operation Christmas Child promotes.
