Christmas is a time for children. You could make it special for this boy and his friends by sending a gift which could change or even save their lives

Just select a gift listed in this leaflet for your friends or family members. We'll send them a card telling them what you've bought for them. Every year we send and receive presents we don't want or need.

So why not bring a smile to the face of your friend or loved one and plenty more smiles for people living in the hard pressed homes of Funzi and Bodo in Kenya?

All donations of £25 and above qualify for a hand knitted Funzi bear
