Food, gifts and time together brought Christmas warmth to families in Sandpit, Bakweri-Town, Buea.
On 19 December 2025, Smiles Africa brought Santa Box to Sandpit, Bakweri-Town, Buea, sharing the warmth of Christmas with families in the community. It was the initiative’s first outreach in the South-West Region, and a new opportunity to turn love into practical care.
Families received food, essential household supplies, clothing and gifts. Rice, cooking oil, soap and other everyday items were accompanied by something equally personal: time to meet, talk and be together.
Led on the ground by Petra Lumnwi, with support from Pastor Blaise M. and volunteers, the outreach made room for human connection alongside the sharing of supplies. Families welcomed the team with appreciation, encouragement and prayers.
Those exchanges are at the heart of Santa Box. A gift can meet an immediate need; the care with which it is offered can also remind a family that they are remembered and valued.
To every volunteer, partner and supporter who helped make this visit possible, thank you for bringing your love into this community. Together, we shared a Christmas moment rooted in dignity, generosity and belonging.
