We are so happy to announce our new partnership with
TOM'S Shoes, a company that will work
 |
| Phani with new TOMS Shoes |
with us to give a brand-new pair of
rubber soled, canvas shoes to thousands of children in Burkina Faso.
Sheltering Wings and our partner Small Rain have been
approved as Giving Partners for TOMS Shoes.
The container arrived in Yako this past week and we have
already been able to do two small distributions, one to our orphanage children and
one to our secondary school children.
For many of our children it was the first time that they have
worn a closed toe shoe. They didn’t know
how to work it onto their foot. They
would just stick their foot in and then try to force the heel to stretch over
their foot.
But, little by little they
saw that if they worked their foot into the shoe. . . . well, then the shoe
fits!
What fun to see the happy smiles as the children try
out their new shoes!
Thank you TOMS for this wonderful program and for putting smiles on the children's faces!

Greetings from Norway! What a wonderful blog! I am delighted to read all these updates. I am wondering how the possibilities are for volunteering at the orphanage? If volunteering is a possibility; are any particular skills requested? I personally am a student of comparative politics, with interests in development studies and sociology. In addition, I generally love children. Could you perhaps write a post on volunteering, including thoughts and experiences with previous volunteers? Have a blessed day! - Marta
