TOMS Shoes is a company that is trying to make a difference. The goal is to give children living in poverty around the world shoes.
Living without shoes can cost a child his life because of the injuries and infections he can get. It can even keep children out of school because shoes are a part of the uniform.
For every pair of shoes TOMS sells, they give a pair of equal value to a child who needs them. The shoes are a little pricey, but when you think about it, you are possibly saving a child’s life. The pay off is worth the cost in my opinion.
Every year an event is held called “One Day Without Shoes.” This event is to raise awareness about the impact shoes can have on a child’s life. You go all day without wearing shoes to feel what it is like, just for a day, to live without shoes. If you want to be a part of this event you can register for it at http://www.toms.com/.
The simple act of buying a pair of shoes can change a child’s life, don’t you think it’s worth it?
