Children's Cup was recently given a donation to purchase several thousand pairs of new shoes. My carepoint was one of the luck reciprocates.
Now this was quite to ordeal to pull off, and it took a lot of team work. We (and by "we" I mean Children's Cup, not just me) first had to measure each child to get their correct shoe size. Then we had to buy all of the shoes in South Africa, then we had to distribute them all to the correct child are the correct carepoint.
But after months of working on this project, you can finally see the beautiful blessing given to these children. And just in time for the winter months too!
Many of these children go barefoot, and those who have "shoes" usually have flip flops (no good for winter weather)are wearing hand me downs that are either too big, or too small, or have them so worn out they are hole-y, blown out, or broken in places.
It really is pitiful.
But now each of these children have pair of brand new, perfect-for-them shoes. Look at their faces!

yeah! they look great in their new kicks! praise the lord!
Awesome!!! :0) It's so good to see their faces again!
reminds me of a song: I got shoes, you got shoes, all God's children got shoes...
i also find it interesting to compare the joy of these kids for a simple pair of shoes--no arguing for a specific brand or style or color--just grateful for something on their feet.
praise God for donors who enabled this gift!
yay!!!!!!! it is so nice to see pics of them-i miss them!!!!! what a wonderful blessing :)
