Thank you so much for this video! I loved hearing about how the boxes are requested and distributed! Especially interesting to hear about the soap. Thank you!
This Q And A Was very informative and helpful. Thank 🙌 You So Much for Taking the time to Share this video. It's very important to have A First - hand perspective from an actual Missionary!
I am a woman of color and I actually think about children in places like Ukraine and how it would be good for them to get Caucasian dolls that look like them. However, how wonderful for children to have the opportunity to love a different race doll. Once again, we can pray and trust the Lord to get the right boxes to the right children.
Thank you so much for doing this! That first question really strikes a cord as I'm reminded of a conversation I had with a good friend of mine a few months ago. He is from the Caribbean and was telling me that the one pet peeve he has with foreign aid (not necessarily from any particular religious group) when they came to distribute was the 'superiority' attitude of the distributers. This sentiment was also shared by another coworker who had lived in several African countries in the past. I like Kayla's answer to that question. Yup, I've been steering towards non-caucasian dolls as the boxes from Canada go to darker-toned countries. Good to know about the soap! This is the first year that I've been packing shoes. I've definitely been trying to go for the top end. Ultimately yes, pray over your boxes as you pack! Thanks for doing this Robynn!
Thank you so much Robynn and Kayla. This was extremely enlightening, particularly how the ministry of issuing shoeboxes works on the other end. I found the info about melting soap so very interesting, answering a lot of questions in my head about all the recent hoopla going on regarding soap in the shoeboxes. Also, so glad to hear clarification on graph paper vs lined paper 👍. Regarding the coloring of dolls, I agree, but I don’t worry about it as much as I used to since watching a TH-camr, Rina, of One Child At A Time, who is not associated with OCC, but has her own outreach going on for impoverished children in México, Peru, Philippines and South America (she’s sort of a one woman show). She has made mention several times that the children of color she distributes toys and clothing to love getting caucasian baby dolls. I guess it’s sort of like kids who don’t speak English love getting T-shirts with English words on them. Just thought I’d throw that out there as even more food for thought and confusion, 😂. I was also very interested in Kayla‘s view on shoes. Although I love to pack shoes bc I know these kids could use them, I find it very arduous (to fit in the box and to feel comfortable it’s going to fit the child who receives) with the exception of the 2-4 age range. I feel so much better hearing Kayla articulate what I’ve been feeling about shoes! Thank you so much for doing this video ❤️
Thanks for this amazing comment! I agree speaking with a missionary on the ground has helped me rethink how I pack. I still think baby dolls of any complexion are special and shoes can be very important. It’s really all about how the Lord leads us. 🥰 the more boxes I pack and the more I learn, the more I think there are as many “right” ways to pack as their are children to receive boxes. ❤️
Thank you so much for this It's extremely helpful video. There's so many things you all touched on that was really great for me to hear for my shoeboxes. Looking forward to implementing them. TFS ❤️
Thanks for sharing this Robynn and Kayla! While I agree that sending a baby doll of color would be more ideal, I think any baby doll is precious and will be loved! Many of my boxes go to Africa as well as South American countries. I think sending shoes in the higher size range are great! Shoes in Africa can be a life saver! I can't always fit shoes in my boxes but if it is laid on anyone's heart, I think it's great! I definitely need to pack more 10-14 boys boxes! I think I will just line boxes up and pack multiples of them! lol. Thanks again for setting this up! Wonderful idea!
You are correct!!! Any baby doll is a big wow!!!! 🥰 I agree in different areas different things are in greater need (especially shoes) that’s why it’s so important (just like you always say) to pack what’s on your heart!!! 👍 you’re the best Denise. ❤️
Hey Robyn after watching Sonia’s box packing I had a thought. Since you have created printable instructions for many items what do you think about a little note to put right on top of the box inside for the processing center volunteers about the rubber bands? Maybe something like please put all rubber bands in the box before taping? I have often wondered what happens to all those rubber bands and not everyone may stick them back in the box. Just a thought 😀
From what I've heard, at the Canadian processing centre, the volunteers are instructed to put the rubber bands inside the box once they finish going through everything. They don't want those going to waste 👍
Good Idea. I've been thinking about creating a top letter to the inspectors, kind of like the one Christy has on Blessings in a shoebox. (making it my own of course but similar. I'll keep this in mind if I do.
Oh my goodness....I can't even imagine having to turn away a child so prayers is a necessity for sure. Such an interesting video. Heading over to Kayla's channel to watch the rest. Have a glorious day.
Thank you so much Robynn and Kayla! I enjoyed the videos immensely, so helpful! Thank you so much for the info about the soap 🧼 I received a package yesterday with packs of chalk in it. Everything was covered in chalk dust 😆 I thought about our shoebox kiddos and decided I would put those in a baggy too inside a container lol! Blessings 💖
@@georgewagner7787 interesting! We purchased non-toxic, anti-dust crayola chalk 12 count boxes. No warning of carcinogens. However, it was surprising to me how much chalk dust was in mailing package. I've worked with grinded up chalks, charcoal ect. in art classes that I tutor. I certainly wouldn't want a child to be breathing in that amount of powdered chalk, which was a case of chalk. These chalk boxes weren't shipped with care, so perhaps that was one reason for the amount of loose powder. I'm glad it happened so I now know how to package our chalk better!
Amazing questions, really helpful to know this information!! It make sense because soaps are not on this list of OCC anymore!! I wasn’t going to send them this year just because I was thinking they had a reason to take them off the list!! Really helpful to know to send the biggest age group for each box and especially on sending sandals!! I live that if the shoes don’t fit that they encourage the kiddos to bless someone else 🥰!! Thank you both for taking the time to make this video for all of us in better understanding on what we should be sending!! TFS and Crafty hugs ❤️🤗!!
We had a lot of fun talking with each other. 😊 But these are just our opinions. We both still encourage everyone to pack with their hearts. Somethings might not be great for the masses but perfect for the kiddo God is sending your box to. This ministry is so amazing in that way! ❤️
Thank you for doing this Q&A. The Information is very helpful. The soap melting issues reminded me of an incident I had. I learned it the hard way when I left my soap sculpture in my bag and it melted. I went to college in Florida and it is super humid there. I ended up having to throw away the soap and clean out my bag.
I double bagged my ivory soap( in original wrapper.) I was praying about it because it was my first year packing. Now I understand why the Lord prompted me to double bag. Thanks for this information it helps alot.
Really appreciate the new info, especially about soap. I'd been on the fence about it since I struggled to fit it in. I feel less bad about that now. Going to rethink deodorant. I bought it when I first started packing, but stopped because I thought it would be better to use the space for a longer lasting item. I agree with all the comments regarding dolls. I pack all kinds and colors of dolls. My own granddaughters (one with dark skin, one with light skin) have never shown any preferences and neither of them chose dolls that looked like them when I took them to the AG store. The things I do notice are that they are drawn to pretty dolls and LOVE accessories. 😊 Thanks for arranging the Q&A session. I'm sure we all picked up some helpful info. 🤗
Love this insight! Thank you for your thoughts!!! It is also true that many kids probably won't show preferences in terms of the doll and will be elated no mater what the doll looks like.
@Barreto Family ... I like to believe so. I always go for quality, cuteness and accessories. I wind up with a variety of skin tones and hair/eye colors. It's things other than dolls where I get bogged down in making decisions. I'm still thinking about graph paper since these videos, for one. I noticed today that Walmart has composition books with graph paper and I'm trying to decide whether to switch to packing those instead of lined paper. The thing is many of my boxes go to African countries. I haven't heard what kind of paper kids there tend to need for school. Maybe I need to do a bit of research. 😊
@@denise5457 I will ask a friend or two of mine who are missionaries in Africa if they know what kids need for school. I haven't heard anything about that region of the world, but I will see what I can find out too. ;)
@@denise5457 I heard back from 2 friends in Africa (who are missionaries in different parts of the continent) Their response about school supplies is very interesting! I will read their exact responses in my next Q&A... I think it will provide another great perspective so that everyone has information from various parts of the world.
Great question Maritza!!! (Can I recommend you ask Kayla on her channel, 😊 because she doesn’t have access to answer you on my channel👍) My non-missionary opinion is yes. My almost 15 year old nephew would play with them. And I saw a post by a private orphanage showing boys playing with action figures and they ranged in age 12-16. They were thanking a child in my neighborhood for his private donation to them. 😀 Kayla’s video 👍 th-cam.com/video/QYXsRs7vAhs/w-d-xo.html
@@mattmanandrobynn Robyn please write out Kayla’s u tube channel out in your response,I can’t figure out how to get that info of your site I am visually impaired and don’t see well.Love your videos,God Bless💝💙💖
Thank you so much for the great informational video. Who would have thought the answer would have been soap, not me! I felt a need to do more boxes this year for the 10-14 age group so that is where I’ve been focusing the most, but don’t worry I’m still packing for the younger children too. Thanks to all shoebox packers. What an awesome group!!!
This video just solidified for me to pack for the age on my heart. I think if we just keep doing that we can’t mess up. 😊 you’re in the right track for sure.
Thank you so much for answering my questions! I have 2 more! Pierced earrings? Yes or not a good idea? And what plastic boxes besides OCC are good and sturdy? Blessings to you both!
Hi Beth! (As Kayla can’t answer you via my channel 😀 I recommend you ask those awesome questions on her video 👍so she can give you her missionary answer) My my non-missionary answer is…. Yes to pierced earrings. ✅ I think it’s pretty common around the world. And I trust that Samaritan’s Purse would restricts item if it was inappropriate. My favorite plastic box is from DAISO (but they are hard to find) My second choice would be a high quality box from target or Walmart like Sterilite. Kaylas video 😀 th-cam.com/video/QYXsRs7vAhs/w-d-xo.html
Saw your question! I agree 💯% with Robynn's earing answer. I think it is very common worldwide and I assume that OCC would restrict it if they know that a certain culture frowns on the use of earings. So, if OCC allows them in your area, I would say it is the perfect WOW type item. Also, thanks for the box suggestions. She is definitely an expert on quality things to purchase.
So glad you did this interview and glad my questions got answered. I didn't know about the soap; so I may choose not to send any this year. I haven't bought any soap yet. One year I thought my box would go a Latin American country. Where I live my boxes go to Dallas so I reasoned that Latin America is closest and the most likely destination. I decided to get a bunch of Elena of Avalor Barbies so they would look like the girl receiving the box. That year God decided to send all my boxes to Gabon, Africa. I now think maybe it is a sign that the skin color really shouldn't matter. I hope the girls receiving the boxes will love their dolls regardless of skin color. I have also thought about maybe sending more than one doll in a box with both being a different skin color. Sort of making the statement that people of different races can be friends. I have been buying mostly darker skin tone dolls but I do have some blonds and red heads in the mix as well.
For 2021. I had the 11 inch Sparkle dolls they were all light skinned but I did find some 4 inch dark skin dolls so I sent one of each. I believe that all dolls will be played with and enjoyed.
Love your thoughts on the dolls, and I think this has been a beautiful conversation here with many people... Maybe it really doesn't matter. I think the doll color is probably more of a preference thing and that God will use the doll (no matter the color) to bless one of these little children. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! LOVE the idea of sending dolls of different colors all in one box! Beautiful thought I would love to share!!!
I'm not sure the thought process behind it, But would assume that they hope most boxes are packed with a wide age range so the missionaries don't feel confined by age when having parties..... but I really have no idea.
Again, thank you for this video! I do watch her videos as I follow her as well! She is great! ❤❤❤❤
So informative. Going to watch the 2nd video now.

So robyn if you could answer these quesstions ive. Few for me i would appreciate it
Sorry just now getting around to comment follow up.
I have a quesstion why does the age limit cut off at 14 15 16 and 17 year olds are children too
I'm not sure why the organization chose the ages they do. I'm just a box packer not affiliated with the official organization.
Another quesstion why do they go so far between ages😊
I'm not sure the thought process behind it, But would assume that they hope most boxes are packed with a wide age range so the missionaries don't feel confined by age when having parties..... but I really have no idea.
Those sizes are better the older get a box
I wish older kiddos could get boxes too.
To me the age groups are all wrong and! He older children get nothing its not fIr at all the 2-4 is good should be 6-9 and 10 -12 and 13-14 ans 15-17
Those are good ideas!
Now knowing this about soap 🧼 🙄 I think It's a good idea 👍 To Double bag the 🧼 Soap!
I put less pressure on myself to include soap. It’s helped my feel more confident about the items I fit in a box. 👍
