It’s more than a pair of shoes…it’s the first step toward transformation for many of these orphan and vulnerable children we serve. A pair of shoes helps prevent health issues. A pair of shoes improves school attendance. A pair of shoes increases self-confidence. A pair of shoes represents a wonderful gift to children who do not receive many gifts. Why new shoes? New shoes last longer and give children living in poverty something that is theirs. Our District 6040 Governor, Randy Steinman, has encouraged the Rotary Clubs throughout the great state of Missouri to join the Shoes for Orphan Souls efforts. District 6060 Governor Valerie Sorensen, and District 6080 Governor Jimmy Standfast, are joining Randy to spread the word as we hope to collect 50,000 pairs of shoes across the state of Missouri this year. |
