#WIWTD 65: One Day Without Shoes For Better Days

Most of us walk #withoutshoes on the beach or at home. But there are those who walk without shoes when they cross shakey rough bridges and roads to get to where they need to be.

A day without shoes

I crossed this bridge barefooted so TOMS @tomsphilippines can give a pair of shoes to the one who needs it most.

I encourage you to post your barefooted pics on Instagram as well as for every posted photo, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. TOMS wants to give away one million pairs of shoes this month. Will you help us reach that goal?

Simply join the effort by Instagramming your bare feet and tagging your friends to do the same.

Or you can join us on May 21,2015, together with millions of people from all over the world who will spend the entire day barefoot so that children won’t have to.  On this day, the world is reminded of the urgent needs of children for proper health and education through TOMS’ global movement: “ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES.”

The idea started on a college campus and grew quickly into a global event. Blake Mycoskie, TOMS’s founder and CEO, started One Day Without Shoes to send a clear message to everyone on how tough it is to spend a day without having any protection on your feet. The endeavor sheds light on how provision of basic necessities as simple as shoes will keep children in school and protect them from numerous health risks. Safeguarding the young could be as simple as protecting their soles-thus affording them more opportunities in life and better chances at growing up and growing old, happy, healthy, and out of harm’s way. Through this global movement, TOMS looks to shed lightprovide a solution toon this reality and everyone’s participation is the key to the its success. of this cause.

This year’s One Day Without Shoes will be held on May 21, 4:30 PM at Track 30th, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. The whole event brings together people from all over the world to move as one so that children in need can have better days ahead of them. In anticipation of this annual global event, TOMS is honoring everyone’s commitment to raise awareness by launching a social media campaign that challenges people from all over the world to post a photo of their bare feet on Instagram with the hashtag #withoutshoes. TOMS will then match each photo with a new pair of shoes, to be sent to a child in need. No purchase is required – just an open challenge given to everyone to do their part and encourage others to do the same. TOMS will also reveal the number of shoes they will give based on the participation they will receive for their online campaign.
