I first heard of Youth Of Choice via social networking site twitter and now the youth organization has come up with a great initiative to mark the start of South Africa's youth month June.
The Youth Initiative is asking for people change lives on 01 June 2011. They're asking you to GO BAREFOOT FOR THE DAY and DONATE YOUR SHOES to us. These must be gently used shoes that someone else can use. You can walk part of the day or the entire day. Get your school involve and encourage your friends to get involve.
Many children do not go to school because they do not have school shoes and none of their families can provide them with shoes. With no education, their future does'nt look very bright. Having a pair of shoes will also help to play sport, fetch water and prevent them from soil-transmitted diseases.
The intention of this shoe campaign to bring a sense of HOPE, DIGNITY and CHANGE YOUR LIFE as well. As we would to think, "ONE PAIR GOES A LONG WAY"
If you think you are a CHAMPIONS 4 CHANGE to drive this campaign inside the schools and if you think YOU CAN take up this challenge, please contact Youth Of Choice's office at 033 342 2394 or email us at http://www.youthofchoice.org/contact.php.
