I have a special opportunity for you to help
a lot of children who need something very basic, a pair of
shoes.
Children in
Nicaragua have access to public education, but there’s one catch. They must
wear shoes to school. Most families in Nicaragua cannot afford shoes for their
children. Thus the poverty cycle continues.
How can you
help? Pittsburgh Rotary is starting a project called Shoes for Nicaragua. Pittsburgh Rotary
is asking organizations, churches, schools, clubs or any other organization
that can get the word out to their members. Copies of a poster and bookmarks
are attached to this email.
This is a
very low budget project. All of the printing has been donated. Shipping costs
to Nicaragua have also been donated. We have a number of highly respected
contacts in Nicaragua who will ensure that the shoes will get to the people
most in need.
How to get
started? This will vary with each situation. Basically, just get the word out
and start collecting shoes. You can start with the links below to view the printable material.
Please get back to me and I can answer
any questions.
Thanks,
Karl
