This special day was organized to help spread awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child’s life. Wearing shoes and practicing basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil in impoverished countries.
Can’t go barefoot tomorrow? You can still participate by going virtually barefoot and spreading the word online via your facebook statuses, twitter accounts and more! Check out www.onedaywithoutshoes.com for additional info.
Another great way of giving back is by purchasing a brand new pair of TOMS shoes. With TOMS ‘One for One’ initiative, for every pair of shoes you purchase, they will give one brand new pair of shoes to a child in need.
To participate in this wonderful project, check out www.boutiqueonze.ca to buy your pair of TOMS shoes and give back to a child in need. While you’re there you can also check out all their fab new items fresh out for Spring!
Montreal Fashion Minds is always a great supporter of Fashion for a cause. We are proud to have a medium to be able spread the word, and hope you do the same.
Share the love and the shoes!
