Barefoot Business Day: Wednesday, 28 July 2010
Bare your soles for a day... cover a child's for a year.
Every day 5,000 Kiwi kids living in poverty don't get to choose what shoes they will wear. They simply don't own any. They are going to school during these cold winter months without shoes and socks to keep their little feet warm and free from foot injury. This has a major impact on their health and learning ability.
You can change that!
KidsCan StandTall Charitable Trust invites you and your colleagues to bare your soles on Barefoot Business Day. Every $20 you raise will buy a new pair of shoes and two pairs of socks for a child in need and that is something you can feel good about!
