The Shoe That Grows

The reason for our year in Australia is that I am participating in a teaching exchange with Frederick, a PE teacher from Sydney, Australia. One of my first trips in Australia will be to Uluru (Ayers Rock), Northern Territory.

In preparing to visit Uluru, I have learned a bit about the needs of the local indigenous Aboriginal community of Mutitjulu. I have organized a fundraiser through Because International to provide the Aboriginal children a special shoe, "The Shoe That Grows", a shoe that will grow five sizes and lasts five years. None of the children own a single pair of shoes.

Each pair of shoes (including shipping to Australia) costs $18 USD. That is approximately $3.60 per year for the five years that the child will have a pair of shoes. We aim to send a total of 200 pairs, which will reach beyond Mutitjulu and into the Aboriginal communities of Docker River, Imanpa and more if we are fortunate enough to raise more money.

Would you please consider making a donation for the Aboriginal children to have "The Shoe That Grows"? 1 pair=$18, 2 pairs=$36, 3 pairs=$54...and so on.

Every single dollar raised will go towards our shipment of shoes. So far we have raised enough money for 32 pairs of shoes. We are on our way! Our fundraising deadline is 24 June 2016. THANK YOU for donating, spreading the word, all of it!
