Ruth Kneale from the Counselling Service at The University of Nottingham has been helping with the Operation Christmas Child Samaritan's Purse appeal for nearly 20 years. In this video Ruth talks about the joy the appeal brings to the children who receive the shoeboxes at Christmas time.

Operation Christmas Child

The content in this album forms part of The University of Nottingham's online Advent calendar 2011.

These video and audio programmes revive some unusual stories and seasonal memories from Nottinghamshire and beyond; ranging from Christmas spent as a prisoner of war and digging for victory; to forgotten festive recipes and rare pieces of music performed by our own students. Also included are rarely seen images of Victorian Nottingham residents ice skating on the River Trent — from the record-breaking winter of 1895.
