An orphanage in the Thousand Hills area of South Africa.
It's where my husband and I are spending a couple of weeks learning and volunteering.
Toms advertises that for every pair of shoes that someone purchases, they give a pair away.
These were the shoes that they were giving away.
I help out in the "crèche" - 3 to 6 year olds from the orphanage and the community.
They were pretty excited to get their new shoes.
Happy children and one very smiling-all-over volunteer from Canada.
Seeing shoes go where they are promised and where they are needed.
A good day.
Wow, Sandi! I had no idea you were in South Africa! What a life-changing experience that will be. How incredible to be making a difference in those young lives. And how rewarding to see those smiling faces. I hope you'll tell us all about your experience!
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing country. We are very fortunate to be able to experience a bit of South Africa.
