chimwemwe footprints project

This is a recently developed project initially to promote friendship,goodwill and cultural tolerance between Adelaide SA and the village of Makuluni of the Mulanje district of Malawi. The motto 'small steps,big dreams,giant feats' hopefully conveys the desire of those involved to highlight the importance of doing 'something' rather than 'nothing', however small (and at times clumsy)the beginnings. It is ultimately about dedication to making the world a better, more socially just society.

a shoe collection worth 50,000 dollars???

tonight on TV a young man was proudly interviewed regarding his shoe collection. he has 200 pairs of shoes - designer brand, never worn. The most recent pair he paid $250 for and the next day was offered $2000 for them. His collection is valued at over $50,000 (AUS)

another woman was interviewed who has a house that has somewhere between 23 and 26 bathrooms - she isnt sure. it even has a 'gift wrapping' room. The woman is 'downsizing' to a modest condominium worth $70 million (US).

I wonder if she would mind using her 'gift wrapping ' room to wrap the $50,000 dollar shoe collection and freight it ( plus the other 2000 pairs) to Makuluni for us!
