Shoes for Nicaragua – 2005

Shoes for Nicaragua

Late in 2005, I was asked if I could help with a shoe drive for poor children in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. This is the Sister City of Newton, MA in America. The shoes were very important as many small children get sick because of walking on the ground with bare feet. The shoes protect the children from infection and disease. The shoes were taken to Nicaragua by young people from the Newton area who were doing charity work in affiliation with the Sister City Project. We collected about 39 pairs of shoes in a very short time. Our work was very much appreciated and the project was a success. Thank you for your support…
