One Day Without Shoes

 

Today is One Day Without Shoes and the organizers are "asking people to go the day, part of the day or even just a few minutes, barefoot, to experience a life without shoes firsthand, and to help spread awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child's life."

I saw the owner of TOMS on television this morning and he said and that in one area he visited, children are not allowed to go to school without shoes. So many kids either share shoes in order to get some schooling, or are unable to attend at all because no one they know has any shoes.

The company who came up with One Day Without Shoes is TOMS www.toms.com  For every pair of TOMS shoes sold they give away a pair of shoes to a child who has none. And that's not just today. It's every day for every pair of shoes they sell.

So I'm going to spend some time without shoes today. And I'm also going to go out and buy a pair of TOMS.
