Each day over 500 million children, teens and adults around the world do not have a pair of shoes to wear, and despite the terrain and the climate, they have to walk barefoot everywhere. It is a struggle each day that we cannot begin to imagine. Having to live a daily life without protection on your feet can lead to a lifetime of problems including pain, injury, cuts, sores, infections, parasites, banning from schools and other places and the list goes on.
I just donated to Soles4Soles for this great cause. Or maybe visit Toms and buy yourself a pair, one for one.
This day was created to bring awareness, to everyone across the nation, of the incredible need to help those people around the world that do not have shoes to wear and then to take action in helping.
National Shoe the World Day was inspired by Donald Zsemonadi and the United Indigenous People in Fontana, California in March of 2014.
