The Oneness-Heart Tears and Smiles in New Zealand in 2005 completed its Kids to Kids project which involved hundreds of school children around New Zealand. This project was used as a way for New Zealand children to reach out their hand in friendship to the children of Sri Lanka. Over 600 packs were created and sent the Dilmah Tea Foundation who distributed them to the children in the Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka.
Pictured is an example of a Kids to Kids pack given by one child in New Zealand. Included in this pack are new pencils/pens, a sharpener, writing book, clothes, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, facecloth, and a note of introduction. This particular child chose to send her favourite toy, which she hopes will give her new friend some comfort. These were all put into her old school bag.
Also pictured is a child in Sri Lanka who received a Kids to Kids pack from a New Zealand child.
