Every single day in life we all take little things for granted. Our family, friends, food, water and even shoes are some of the things we take for granted. Awhile back I was logging onto myspace and came across an ad advertising Toms. Toms are a type of shoe. I seen Zac Efron sporting a charcoal pair. I fell in love. With the shoes not Zac. I thought kool I want a pair. So I checked out the site. The shoes are a little out of my price range but as soon as I get a little extra moneys...Im so getting a pair. The neat thing about Toms shoes is its all about giving back. For every pair of shoes someone buys, Toms give a pair away to a child in need. One for One. Toms meaning Tomorrows Shoes. I thought wow they have a great idea some of the other ideas they have are One Day Without Shoes.
One Day Without Shoes is an annual event hosted by TOMS Shoes in which students, friends, parents, strangers, and co-workers host or join barefoot events. Some go barefoot for an hour, some for the whole day, but all become a part of a greater movement toward change. Your involvement will captivate and educate this community and school, which will impact the lives of children around the world.
Did you know most children in developing countries grow up barefoot? Did you know some children walk barefoot for miles each day, and they can often not attend school without proper footwear? In Ethiopia, approximately 1 million people are suffering from a debilitating disease called Podoconiosis, which is 100% preventable with basic hygiene and shoes.
So on April 8th, my friends and I are going barefoot for One Day Without Shoes. It might be cold, it'll probably be uncomfortable, and our feet will certainly get dirty, but by doing so, we’ll help raise awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child’s life.
Cant go bearfoot at work... Go Virtually Barefoot. Take the Icons below and put them on ur myspace facebook and twitter. :D
