Last week a cargo container from the US arrived. The main item in the container was a giant playground set for the school (similar to McDonald playground). In addition to that, many boxes of clothes and school supplies were packed around the playground set. One of the boxes contained about 75 pairs of shoes. These shoes had been collected by a teen age girl in Virgina. She heard about the school and wanted to help the children. Many of these children have so little. You would not believe how many of these kids have only one pair of shoes...and it that one pair is several years old. their poor toes are jammed up tight into the shoes.
It is amazing to me how many people from so many different places are willing to get involved and help with MICS!I had the privilege of being able to help hand out the shoes to the kids at MICS. One of the boys had wanted a pair of running shoes, so I was able to find him a pair that fit. Now he will be able to run with me!
