...helping you help the street children of Latin America

 

DVD 'A World with no Street Children' - featuring Adrian and Bridget Plass

Join Adrian and Bridget as they meet street children for the first team and be inspired by the extraordinary work of local Toybox partners in Latin America.

“Most of us have heard of street children but most of us have never had the chance to meet a street child ourselves. It’s easy to class street children as a “group” and to forget that they’re all individuals.” ‘A World with no Street Children’ takes you on a very special journey into their lives …

Includes:

  • 12 minute feature
  • 2 minute Toybox taster, ideal as a ‘thank you’ or brief introduction
  • PowerPoint notes and background information

Free as a special thank you to supporters. Order here

"Thank you for standing with us. Together we are making dreams come true.” Adrian and Bridget Plass

Fountains in the Dust - Snapshots from South America

A book by Adrian & Bridget Plass and Angela Murray

Up on a hill amidst the dust of Lima, as evening begins to draw in, a weary group of travellers want nothing more than to return to their hotel for some much needed food and sleep. Moments later, as they walk through the large gates in front of them, they step into a fountain.

Fountains in the Dust is a Latin American adventure in a book! Combining photos, stories and poems, this book will take you right to the heart of some of the places where Toybox currently works. Laugh at the travelling tales, cry at the injustice and smile at the children who really are fountains in the dust.

A must-read for all Toybox supporters and a great gift for family and friends. Click here to get your copy

 

The Kingdom in their Eyes - From St Albans to South America

A DVD featuring Adrian and Bridget Plass

When Adrian and Bridget Plass travelled to Bolivia and Peru it wasn't simply for a holiday or to visit the typical tourist hotspots. They went to catch a glimpse of the real South America. From the presidential palace in Lima to some of the poorest communities in the mountains of Bolivia, this was an incredible journey. A journey full of challenges and surprises. A journey they'll never forget.

Through this DVD, Adrian and Bridget invite you to join them on this journey. With footage not only from their travels but also from an event in St Albans which took place shortly afterwards, this is classic Plass with a Latin American flavour! Combining humour, poetry and story telling, Adrian and Bridget entertain, challenge and encourage as they introduce us to children who really do have The Kingdom in their Eyes.
