This past week my friend, Jamie Despres, traveled to Costa Rica with Soles4Souls. In the village of La Carpio, she and a small group of volunteers distributed hundreds of shoes to children. Each volunteer washes the feet of the child before fitting them with a new pair of shoes. This pair of shoes can be the barrier they need from disease and illness that can end their lives.
I was proud to volunteer my time making small notebook for the kids. Maybe next year, I will be able to do more than that.
To see more about the trip, you can read Jamie's blog, The Best Shoes Are Free, or the Soles4Souls blog.
To be clear, Kim made many notebooks. Not just one! Hee hee. Got some more pics of us sending giving the children the books and stickers. Will send them your way if you want to add to post. Very cool to see it in action.
