and time marches on...

..and so the Feast for Feet in the City has become an event of the past and new adventures have quickly followed. The number of shoes continues to multiply and more and more Aussies learn about Malawi and the children and villagers of the village of Makuluni.

On the 6th May, Virginia and I were guests at the school assembly at St Andrews at Walkerville. it was part of Shoe-Pal #1's contribution to the project and he had been working with his House leader and Deputy Principal to bring Virginia and I along to talk to the students about the shoee project and invite them to participate in it.

We were beautifully introduced by the students of Lawson who were hosting the assembly that day and the project as well and Virginia and I were introduced by students from the house of Eggleton and Shoe Pal#1.

The students of Eggleton House had arranged that to coincide with the "Walk to School' Friday the following week, students would be encouraged to bring along any pairs of shoes they would like to donate. The shoes would be strategically placed in a big line around the school building and as more and more shoes were collected, the line would wind around in front of the different classrooms.

We were so thrilled to be able to visit the children, meet their teachers and tell them more about the village in Malawi where so many people are excitedly waiting to hear more news about the children of Australia.
