Since 2012, Christmas In A Box, organised by Slum2School Africa, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships for out-of-school children in remote communities across Nigeria, has been an annual event held in December to show love, spend time with children, and inspire them with gifts, games, and fun activities. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to donate gift items, which are wrapped in boxes and distributed to children in remote communities.
This year, Slum2School Africa is inviting all interested individuals and organizations to participate in the 10th Edition of Christmas in a Box, which aims to spread Christmas cheer to 10,000 children in 10 days.
This exciting and memorable event will bring smiles to the faces of children during the festive period, and you can participate by following the steps below:

But before you get too excited about endless blue skies and sunny stretches, you might want to brace for a few more storms.</p><p>According to long-range data from the <a href="https://www.farmersalmanac.com/long-range-weather-forecast/nova-scotia-pei-new-brunswick-quebec" target="_blank">2024–2025 Farmers' Almanac</a>, August will be warmer than usual in southern Quebec, with average daytime highs around 20 °C, which is about a degree above normal. That said, the month is also expected to bring above-average precipitation — around 120 mm total, or roughly 25 mm more than usual.</p><p>The Almanac uses a centuries-old blend of astronomical and mathematical data to make long-term weather predictions</p><p>Here's how southern Quebec's August forecast is shaping up, according to The Farmers' Almanac</p><h2>The Farmers' Almanac's August forecast</h2><p><strong>August 1st to 3rd</strong></p><ul><li>Good weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 4-7<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Thunderstorms, then a return to generally mild weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 8-11<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Heavy showers and some isolated violent thunderstorms are possible, then sunny spells.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 12 to 15<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Pleasant weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 16-19<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Thunderstorms, then back to good weather.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 20-23<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Clear skies, then unstable weather with showers.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 24-27<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>Generally nice and warm.</li></ul><p><strong><strong>August</strong> 28 to 31<strong></strong></strong></p><ul><li>The heat persists.</li></ul><p>If the forecast holds, Quebecers can expect a warm but occasionally wet end to the season.
