KIND-HEARTED youngsters have made up hundreds of gift boxes to bring a little joy into the lives of Kosovar refugees.

Pupils at Belthorn County Primary School have collected soap, toiletries, underwear and food to fill shoe boxes to send to women and children who are living in packed refugee camps on the Kosovan border.

Each of the 135 children has donated items to the appeal with the help of their mums and dads.
