ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES

– N

Let me introduce you to TOMS (if you don’t already know them that is..) TOMS is a great company with an even better business model. With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One For One.
And yesterday was One Day Without Shoes. A day organised by TOMS & Ganbaroo PR PR to create global awareness to children’s health and education by walking without shoes around the Jordan area in Amsterdam.

I was kindly invited to walk along for this good cause!
The afternoon started with 2 ladies painting our feet to make them look a bit more appealing. 😉

When everyone was gathered, we went for a little stroll in the area…

Along the way, a lot of people asked what we were doing and why we were doing it. So, I guess it’s safe to say that we achieved our day’s goal: people were talking about the cause!
When we got back we were welcomed with champagne and cupcakes from Cupcake Heaven.

It was a great afternoon, couldn’t have spent it any better.
And needless to say that I didn’t want to wash the beautiful painting off my feet when I got home.
