where did you find the video you used? The Christmas Could Be Different one? It's the one you use in the beginning and end of your vid. Someone showed it to me and I wanted to share it with more people, but I can't locate it.

@Heidirs I found it on the Operation Christmas Child's website. They have a footage/media area with all of those clips.

I feel sorry for those kids, but do they most of them even celebrate christmas

[schemestresses]

@CircaSkating A good number of them know about the holiday, honor Christ's birth, but can't celebrate the same way that we do (with presents to loved ones), and for those that don't know about it, they are exposed to the Gospel and get gifts. It's a win/win :D

I did a P4A vdieo for Operation Christmas Child too, but yours was so tender and sincere , along with the great scenes of the poor children and practical ideas. It was truly inspiring. If I didn't already participate every year, your video would encourage me to do it.

Love Laura-Lee (aka. Maidryn)
