**For the fourth year running Parcelforce Worldwide has helped underprivileged children
in eastern Europe by collecting parcels for an international children’s charity.**

“Operation Christmas Child,” a special project run by the Samaritan’s Purse International
Charity, has delivered Christmas treats to needy children in 12 impoverished and
war-torn eastern European countries.

During November and December a 15-strong fleet of trucks, provided free of charge,
has been collecting over half a million presents donated by the public and 3,000
schools, churches and other organisations.
