Tom's Shoes

A group came to our school the other day selling shoes. I really didnt think much about it because 1) I had no money and 2) I wasn't really interested in new shoes at the time. 3 weeks later i'm down a pair of shoes and now know the full story behind Toms Shoes. It's really a simple concept, instead of marking every shoe up a ridiculous amount, Toms keeps the price relativly low, but high enough so they can afford to make 2 pairs of shoes for the price you pay (About $45 a pair). With the pair you purchased... you get to keep, have, wear, etc. but with the other pair... that's where the fun comes in. : ) Toms sends another pair of shoes of the exact same make and quailty to Ethopia or another 3rd world country so people there can... have shoes. They've got a goal for Christmas 2008 to send 30000 paris to Ethiopia. Check out the video... : )



So if you're looking to get someone a present this year but you still want to help society, the world, etc... check out Toms. I met some of the people that head the organization and they're all a real down to earth, committed, sold out group of guys and gals just looking to do what they know God's called them to do... : )
