Each form takes responsibility for a number of boxes and fills them with toys, stationary, cosmetics and of course sweets! They made a record number of boxes this year and 120 children ranging in age from six months to 18 years will be very happy on Christmas Eve when they get to open them.
Boarding students also put together a further six boxes to send up to an orphanage in Chang Mai which they had been asked to help also. In addition, this year, Y12 and 13 made 32 Christmas boxes to take to Phuket Home for the Elderly.
They took these over to them and four of the wonderful Thai musicians played for them as they opened their boxes. They loved hearing live Thai music and the girls received many requests to keep playing.
The teachers at BISP said a big thank you to all the students, parents and tutors who helped to give 158 Christmas boxes to the community
this year.
