'Nicoleta' Andy Bollinger to Tell Story of How One Simple Shoe Box Gift Changed Her Life

Kick-off the 2012 Operation Christmas Child collection
season by hearing the inspiring story of ‘Nicoleta’
Andy Bollinger; a young girl living in communist Romania who when receiving a simple shoe box gift filled with basic school supplies, toys, and necessities, felt loved and not forgotten.

Operation Christmas Child, a project of international relief
aid organization, Samaritan’s Purse, is the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind.  This year, Operation Christmas Child expects to reach a milestone with more than 100 million children receiving shoe boxes since the
first year of the project.

Andy will share her inspiring story of the effect a simple
shoe box gift packed with love can make on the life of a child.
