So there is this company called TOMS. They have a one for one company. This means that each time someone buys a pair of shoes they give a pair to an orphan. I own a pair of TOMS. So do a bunch of people I know.
While in Uganda, Africa we were able to see these shoes that they give to the orphans. We (my Uganda team) were happy with the shoes that we saw. They were actual shoes. While the ones that we buy have a sole that doesn’t have treads the soles of the shoes that we saw were rubber with treads. The shoes that TOMS gives to orphans are shoes that will last. The quality of the orphan shoes are better than the ones that I wear. Which makes them worth buying.
How cool is it that there are companies out there that want to help people. Now I don’t know if Blake the founder of TOMS loves Jesus but in my eyes he is doing something good. I have many friends around the world who could use a pair of shoes. And TOMS is doing something to help change the lack of shoes in the world. To find out more about TOMS visit the site here.
For anyone out there that wondered if the shoes do get to the children. THEY DO.
Thanks TOMS for giving shoes to orphans all around the world.
