What to bring to the Orphanage??!!

Shoes are a big deal right?! The right size... the right color for your outfit.... the "coolest" kids shoes for your little people... but how about the basic need to even own shoes? There are kids around the world that don't even know what a proper fitting shoe feels like
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW TO COMPLAIN THAT THE SHOES ON THEIR FEET ARE RUBBING ON THEIR TOENAILS!!


When we travel to Ethiopia in the next few months, we plan to pack as many pairs of CROC's as we can fit into extra luggage! We are talking multiple 30 gallon storage tubs hauled halfway across the world to kiddos who need them so much! 


Why the CROC's? They are made of a tough, durable, and long lasting material. They can be handed down from kiddo to kiddo and it is out hope that they will last longer than regular tennis shoes. From experience, we have handed down very few shoes from one boy to another just because they really get used and worn.

Will you help us? From now until we leave for our first trip to Ethiopia we will collecting as many pairs as we can packed into those tubs! We hope you will join us in this! 
I am going to add a "tracker" on my blog and we will be able to track and hopefully exceed our goal of 100 pairs!
