Put shoes on his feet and that kid might learn something

No shirt, no shoes, no service.  It’s not just a barrier to getting fast food.  It’s a barrier to getting an education.  It might not be a problem in your neighborhood but it’s a serious concern in parts all over the world.  It’s a fact – many schools require shoes.  And studies show that children who own shoes attend school more often.  And access to education is a critical determinant of long-term success.  Put simply, children who are healthy are more likely to be successful students.   And shoes play a critical role in protecting children from common health threats such as hookworm, podoconiosis, jiggers, and tetanus.

In steps TOMS Shoes.  TOMS makes great shoes with a great hook.  “With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.  One for One.”  Of course that means that when you buy a pair of TOMS for yourself, you’re also helping a child stay healthy.  You’re helping them succeed in school.  You’re helping to change a life.
