The recipients...our friends...

19th May 2010...Virginia...

"...We saw very old women and men carried on bicycles to receive a pair of shoes - old people i never saw after a decade...

...I saw mentally challenged man who for the first time after months, went to take a bath at muloza River, combed his hair and in his tattered clothing came peacefully to ask for a pair of shoes. I received him just like everyone else and I believe he felt good treated respectfully...

...There was a mentally challenged girl who goes around the place begging for food. She too came and asked if she could have a pair of shoes. i asked her if she would be able to keep a pair safe and she told me that her aunt would get them for her ( look after them). I looked at her and finally decided to let her have her share. After a few days in the village, I saw her proudly walking in her Aussie pair of shoes!...
