Shipping needed for 3,300 pairs!

Shoes for the World is "shipping distance" to provide new shoes to 3,300.

People making a difference!












Last Saturday I visited David who donated 300 shoes from his father’s shoe store. David is happy and excited that these shoes can be of benefit for people in need.

David's father used to run "Freedman Shoes"

Thank you David




There was a mistake!
The number Ronson Shoes donated is not 500 pairs of shoes………..



It is more than 3,000 pairs, see it yourself!





Yesterday I visited Ronson Shoes Warehouse together with Tony and Carolyn.




Carolyn's big heart listen to Stanley at the end of March when Shoes for the World was published in the 24 hours News Paper.




With no hesitation Carolyn called me and offered 500 pairs that have grown to be more than 3,000.





Stanley is the "Man" at the center, is touching 3,000 people that need these shoes badly. Stanley has worked for Ronsons Shoes for a number of years.



Thank you Stanley, Carolyn and Tony

You can make the difference too!

What can you do?
Do you know anybody in the shipping business? Couriers?

Call me or email me with your suggestions!

Shoes for the World at Schools








Kitsilano
Vancouver, BC
Canada


Principal Davidson welcomed today the idea of having her school participate actively in learning geography, cultures, sailing and connecting with children abroad through an innovative internet base program that can connect up to 200 people simultaneously.




Soon you will be able to talk and see me live and I will see you and listen to you anywhere in the world thanks to the "Asita Informatica Inc" system.


Shoes for the World attracts the attention of Tahitipetey whose foundation is dedicated to increasing awareness about important global issues and finding workable solutions to overcome their impact. Tahitipetey's primary focus is on those activities that are devastating our oceans and marine life, like over fishing. But mainly the need for us to reduce the plastic waste reaching them. Our proposed programs are designed to do this in a purpose driven, non-political manner to change how we view and make use of "one-use only" plastic products.

Since then Eduardo is receiving hundreds of calls with contributions and volunteering help.
















From a free 20' container to anywhere in the world and free storage for 6 Months from International Movers Ltd to individuals who want to make a difference by donating shoes and clothing, reading glasses, and books.












Ronson Shoe Stores are on board donating 500 pairs of shoes







People want to know what they can do to help and to be part of the project.





It’s an amazing and heartwarming phenomenon.


What can you do?






















Talk to people, spread the word about Shoes for the World, look in your closets and garage for shoes and clothing that you no longer need.

Talk about it at work, at school, everywhere.

Do you have school aged children? Talk to your school’s principal or child’s teacher about starting Shoes for the World at your school.

Shoes for the World connects kids from here to remote locations overseas. Kids communicate though live broadcast over the internet.
