Decoration and packing of Brown Bag Lunches for Oak City Outreach Serving Smiles

Hello SHBHU Families,
Shoe boxes going to Dove Missions for Dominican Republic can be filled with toys, hygiene items, and a small amount of candy. Keep in mind that these boxes will likely be the only thing these children will open for their Christmas gifts! Please include small non-battery, non-electronic toys such as: small Lego sets, bouncy balls, slime, cards, sunglasses, nail polish, toy cars, small notebooks with colorful pens/pencils. Believe it or not, they enjoy receiving a toothbrush and toothpaste for their hygiene items. Boxes cannot be wrapped but can be decorated. Keep in mind that Spanish is their native language so books in English are not recommended.
Thank you!
Lead Ambassador Tonya

Here is a little information on how these two Compassion Missions started!
“Techy Hearts for India”
“Hi, I am Tonya Hakim, and i am 11 years old. I will be 12 in July. I want to be in SHBHU because it helps people who are in need of help and every one in Small Hands is caring. I want to help India because they need a lot of help. A lot of people there are living in a slum village and don’t get access to good things like we are. They need help and we can help them if we try.”
This Compassion Mission originated from a very heartfelt place. Tonya’s family visited India last year and they were all drawn to helping the children at the Brighter Futures School in New Delhi,India. Tonya’s family collected many books for these children and raised $420 last year for the summer camp in India that these children go to. They wanted to continue raising money this year for these children in need. By using SHBHU and it’s leadership mentors as a resource, together we have acquired an amazing Partner named Christian Ebersol with Comcast Ventures! Mr. Ebersol is leading a LARGE 2017 fundraiser to raise $8000.00 for a new computer lab for these children at Brighter Futures and he has asked us to partner with him to reach this goal! Thank you Mr. Ebersol! CLICK HERE to learn more about Mr. Ebersol and his experience at Brighter Futures and the amazing fundraiser he began that we are helping him with. We are very excited to help reach this amazing goal!
“Eyeglasses for India”
This Compassion Mission started in much the same way. I joined SHBHU about a year and a half ago and I have LOVED it. I first found SHBHU when I was looking up volunteer opportunities around the NC area. When I saw SHBHU, I was very interested because I saw how children from every part of NC of all ages came together to strive to make the world a better place. At that point, I was sold. Seeing and knowing that there are so many kids my age, old and younger, were trying to do the same thing as I was, and were succeeding because everyone had each other’s back, drew me into SHBHU even more. I recently completed a project called Socks 4 Syria where I successfully raised over 2000 pairs of socks for Syrian refugees, and I couldn’t have done it without SHBHU. They had my back they whole time and were constantly helping me out no matter what. I have recently started a project called Eyeglasses for India where I am collecting eyeglasses for disadvantaged people in India. I was specifically interested in working with the India Expansion group not only because I am from India and have family there, but because my family started an orphanage and I want to help them and others in their situation as much as I can. I know that India is a very disadvantaged country in some places including where my family is and I know that I have an obligation to help them and everyone else out. That is why I am so interested and excited to lead the India Expansion Mission with Ambassador Tonya. Overall, SHBHU is an amazing organization that I respect and enjoy and I suggest other kids all over NC to join and become a part of our caring and loving family. Please be a part of this impactful partnership to help those in India and make a donation to help us reach the goal by the end of 2017!

SHBHU conducts compassion meetings quarterly at one of our “In Kind Facility Sponsors.” The theme and lead family will be posted one month before each meeting. Please contact us if you would like to lead and assist your child in a specific cause to present at the meeting. Updates to the theme of each meeting will be posted on the website two weeks before that quarterly meeting.
These quarterly “Compassion meetings” are ESSENTIAL for the following 4 reasons:

These meetings provide an opportunity to present a compassion mission while welcoming new and seasoned registered members.
These meetings provide a place and time to ask seasoned Ambassadors, seasoned Small Handers, parents and leadership team any pertinent questions about SHBHU.
These meetings are a time for new members to be able to share with all of us what drew them to the SHBHU mission and how they can be involved. We are as always for the community and run by the community.
These meetings will be an accessible opportunity for any Ambassador or Small Hander to present an “Anytime Activity” or a “Compassion Presentation” on any cause if they choose to volunteer to do so.
These meetings will be conducted at a regularly scheduled date and time for the Ambassador Committee to convene in a separate room for 30 minutes at some point during the evening and discuss Ambassador involvement and ideas in SHBHU.
