Growing up, his grandmother, a high school librarian, encouraged him to read anything from pimp novels to poems. Green knew Marshall from Vanderbilt, where they had both attended college. He enjoys the tours, though. The open mic portion was actually a competition.
Students can compete as teams or individuals in poetry slam competitions and advance to the finals. Hanover has a lot more to offer than just that.
Unknown Philip Larkin poem found in shoebox
African kids trying to figure out what to do with American toys, and then adult African men trying to teach them what to do with them… Incorrectly! It may be fun to head to the Dollar Store or Toys R Us with your kids to fill up a box that you think will bless a less fortunate child overseas, but the reality is that most of the time, random toys are the last thing they really need.

As a general rule, mass dumps of Western goods into non-Western countries with struggling economies are never a good idea.

The shoeboxes themselves are both racist and sexist. Not every shoebox that gets sent overseas by Operation Christmas Child is an official OCC box as many families and individuals simply use real shoeboxes from their homes, but the organization often does provide its partner churches and parachurch ministries with OCC-branded boxes that come emblazoned with cartoon illustrations of barefoot Latino and African children the likes of which you might find in colonialist missionary hagiography or racist Party City Halloween catalogues.
This is NOT to say, as so many of my more conservative commenters love to accuse me of, that children in need would be offended by receiving traditionally gender-coded toys.

In every country where it is legal, Operation Christmas Child adds tracts and religious material promoting their narrow theological perspective— that all those who do not believe as they do will be eternally, consciously tormented in hell forever by God. Operation Christmas Child administrators on the ground are also provided with followup material that children are pressured to participate in, where they can be further indoctrinated into exclusivistic Evangelical ideology.

Operation Christmas Child is a well-oiled machine for a brand of religion built on colonialism, white supremacy, and American exceptionalism. But ultimately it perpetuates the damage that followed post-colonialism aid, which instills in children overseas from an early age that you need white people to give you things, and in our children, that the poor need our things. How many abusers have been enabled, victims have been silenced, violent ideologies have been perpetuated, injustices have been unchallenged, because we have been afraid to step on toes or hurt feelings or break with tradition?
In the case of Operation Christmas Child…. The good Samaritan thought of everything the man needed at great personal expense, and not only financially.

It cost the time that the Levite and Priest were unwilling to give and it took great humility. Just because something is fun to do and appears on the surface to be beneficial, does not actually make it so. If you know of any, I would love to hear about them!

However, there are a multitude of options for families or churches who want to provide those experiencing poverty with things they actually need and teach their own children about generosity and global poverty at the same time. By far food and clean drinking water are some of the largest global needs for those experiencing poverty. The Organization WaterIsLife has created a straw that, when used, purifies water in real time as you are using it, so clean water can be found anywhere.
Teaching families and small farmers how to sustainably farm and harvest their own food is also key. There are a huge number of organizations that do this in a variety of different ways , and this is not an exhaustive list. There may even be organizations that do the very same thing but in your own local community! And for a more hands-on approach with your children, the best thing you can do is get involved in local charities doing good in your community during the holidays.
