What would you do if you didn’t have things like a toothbrush to keep your teeth clean or soap to wash your hands when they are dirty? Some boys and girls and even some moms and dads don’t have these things. The gift of a hygiene kit that has a toothbrush, soap, comb, and other things is an important gift to many people.
