#GETTHEMSOMESHOES

To be a vulnerable child living in South Africa is a path filled with many challenges. According to the Department of Basic Education there are over 7 million children in South Africa living without shoes. This is a huge number and you and i can be a part of this and help make a change.Many children walk far distances to school every day without wearing any shoes. 

“A pair of shoes are a basic item that everyone requires, a life without shoes can damage a school-goers self-esteem and hamper their learning ability,” says Nicola Vogel

(Communications and Fundraising Manager at Adopt-a-School).

Zando.co.za, together with its partners:

• BizCommunity 

• Build A Bear Workshop®

• CourierIT

• Dialogue 

• Infidels have setup a national campaign to drive awareness and donate shoes to Adopt-a-School.

The campaign called www.getthemsomeshoes.co.za will launch on Thursday the 4^th of April 2013 and end on the 30^th of June 2013.Three travelling bears will embark on a three month adventure to raise awareness and encourage sign-ups.

Each bear will start its journey in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The campaign is supported by ambassadors Freshly Ground, Tarryn Kay (AKA TK from Goodhope FM), Terence Pillay (East Coast Radio), Franco Human (Guy in the Green Shorts), Weza Solange (TV host and Actress), Thabo September (Supersport United FC Captain), Jadene Tager (Radio presenter) and welcomes anyone who would like to adopt the initiative and spread the word.

For every 30 unique sign-ups, one pair of shoes will be donated to a child in need. Signing up is really easy, anyone over the age of 18 can visit www.getthemsomeshoes.co.za or SMS their Name and Email address to the Shortcode 37511 (at a cost of R1/SMS).
