Christmas magic on wheels: The Christmas parcel convoy brings joy to the East

4 Min.

During the festive season, when the air literally crackles with anticipation, a special initiative sets a wonderful example of charity: the Christmas parcel convoy. This project combines the commitment of children, numerous helpers and truck drivers to bring joy to children’s homes and kindergartens in Eastern Europe.

We already reported on this in one of our last articles and invited everyone to take part in this very special campaign.

Now the time has come: the convoy has set off and has lots of presents on board. If you still don’t know what it’s all about, here is a brief summary:

Children help children:

The true spirit of Christmas is shown in the gesture of giving. Children from all over Germany are the main actors in this project. They select gifts and carefully wrap them in parcels. From writing utensils to toys, sweets and clothes – the variety of gifts reflects the children’s deep understanding of what brings joy to their peers.

The enthusiasm on site was great.

The role of the helpers:

The collection and coordination of the gifts would be unthinkable without the helpers from various organizations. These dedicated people work tirelessly to sort the parcels and prepare them for the journey. Your contribution is an essential part of this heart-warming campaign.

Journey of hope:

The highlight of the Christmas parcel convoy is the journey of the fully loaded trucks. These “Christmas trucks” become messengers of joy as they bring the lovingly wrapped presents to the waiting children. The journey of these trucks, packed with anticipation and loving gifts, symbolizes a bridge of humanity that overcomes borders and distances.

Fully packed and smartly equipped on site

Gratitude and recognition:

Special thanks go to the truck drivers who embark on this long and meaningful journey. They are not only drivers, but also bearers of hope and joy for countless children. Their willingness to be part of this convoy shows their deep connection to the spirit of giving and sharing.

The Christmas parcel convoy is more than just a gift campaign; it is a symbol of hope, of sharing and, above all, of childlike joy. It connects people across borders and shows that the simplest gesture of giving can trigger a wave of joy and happiness 😊

At a time when the world is often characterized by negativity and division, this initiative reminds us that the magic of Christmas lies in loving and caring for one another.

We would therefore like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the packing helpers, the gift-loving children and the truck drivers. Your commitment and generosity make the world a brighter and more joyful place.

This year, Round Table Nuremberg is once again taking part in the "Christmas parcel convoy" initiative and 2be is on board.

Children who make children happy at Christmas!

2 Min.

Christmas is a festival of emotions – above all joy, especially for our children. Who can’t remember a few sleepless nights before Christmas, the anticipation and the excitement of whether one of the wishes would come true in wrapped form 😊 But not every child can experience this anticipation and not every child can hope for a wish to be fulfilled.

That’s why we, Round Table Germany, have been taking part in the “Christmas parcel convoy” campaign for 20 years: Every year before Christmas, we send a large truck full of presents to Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine so that the children can once again look forward to Christmas with anticipation and excitement.

Before the trip, many helpers from various organizations collect gifts, which are then loaded into appropriate trucks. These trucks – fully loaded with anticipation and lots of great things – then drive east to distribute the presents in children’s homes and kindergartens.

The great thing is that the presents are selected and packed by children in Germany. They know best what makes other children happy. From practical items such as writing utensils to toys, sweets and clothes, everything is included.

We from the agency 2be_ die markenmacher are also taking part this year with a lot of love. We have set up a collection point at Ostendstraße 181:

You can leave your gifts with us until 16.11.2023 from Mon-Fri from 08:00 – 16:00 and we will take care of everything else. You can find out what you should bear in mind when packing your parcel at https://weihnachtspaeckchenkonvoi.de/musterpaeckchen.

Bring along what your heart tells you when it comes to the contents of the parcels 😛 and let’s make a few children’s eyes light up again together <3
