TOMS

So yesterday I got a new pair of toms.
firstly I got a navy pair but they were too big
so got a black pair in a better size.

With every pair of toms bought the company gives a pair of shoes to
children in Argentina & im sure in other countries.
Because

Many children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:

1. A leading cause of disease in developing countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.

2. Wearing shoes also prevents feet from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.

3. Many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential.

I got this from the website.

Its not just about shoes for people who can afford them.. it's about protecting a child who can't.
