ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Ashley Ozemba, a senior Childhood Education major
at the SUNY College at Oneonta, introduced "Operation Holiday Child" to the
SUNY Oneonta campus last fall, when she collected 20 shoeboxes filled with
presents for children in third-world countries.
Ashley, a resident of New Windsor, hopes to help even more children this
year. She is seeking donations of shoeboxes filled with a wide variety of
items, such as coloring books, crayons, stickers, reading books, school
supplies, hygiene items, and hard candies. A stuffed animal should be
included in all boxes, but the boxes should not contain any war-related
items, chocolate or food, used items, liquids or lotions, breakable items,
or aerosol cans.
Anyone wishing to donate a shoebox can drop it off by November 13 with
Linda Drake, Director of the SUNY Oneonta
Center for Social
Responsibility and Community, in Alumni Hall. More information
about "Operation Holiday Child" is available from Ashley Ozemba by e-mail at
ozemab53@oneonta.edu.
