The Diaconia of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren has launched its 15th nationwide Christmas gift collection “Shoebox“. Held under the auspices of the country’s First Lady Eva Pavlová, the project enables people to help light up the Christmas holiday for children from socially disadvantaged families.

Christmas is a time for charity and, as stores fill up with glittering Christmas decorations, many Czechs stop to think about ways to bring joy to those less fortunate.
