The fun part about the Soles 4 Souls Flippin' Good Deeds Challenge has been spreading the word about S4S and the need for something as simple as adequate footwear everywhere in the world. My sister and I have been sharing my blog posts as well as pictures and creative status updates via Facebook, letting us reach our neighbors here in Colorado as well as friends all over the world. Our family friend Ann is currently in Babati, Tanzania waiting for a container ship of donated school supplies to arrive for Amka Afrika School. She saw my post about the shoe drive on Facebook and offered to give a pair of shoes to someone locally in Tanzania to support our efforts (above). At the most basic level, that's what it's all about. A pair of shoes going to someone who can use them. Wherever. Whenever. However.

All shoe donations for the Flippin' Good Deeds Challenge need to be made this weekend. All shoe donation forms need to be submitted by Monday at noon central time and on Tuesday we'll see if we make the final leaderboard. My sister and I have seen more shoes in the past month than ever before, outside of a shoe store. It's been a great run. Literally.
The holidays are approaching - did you know that the challenge sponsor, Flip Flop Wines, will donate a pair of shoes to Soles 4 Souls for each bottle purchased? If you bring a bottle of wine to someone as a gift or serve it at home, you'll be doing something great. You don't even have to say anything. It will be your little secret. Helping the world, one pair at a time.
