Try Something Tuesday

For those of you who are not aware today is One Day Without Shoes where we are asked to walk a mile in other people's shoes... specifically the children who have none. 

WHY SHOES?

- HEALTH -

Millions of children are at risk of injury, disease and soil-transmitted infection.

- EDUCATION -

In some areas, shoes are required for children to attend school.

- OPPORTUNITY -

Children who are healthy are more likely to be successful students.

So today for Try Something Tuesday we are asking you to try NOT wearing shoes...give yourself a pretty pedi if you are feeling self-conscious then go out and flaunt your feet! Blog or Tweet about your experiences...what hazards did you encounter, how did it change your perspective? Take pictures and share them on the official One Day Without Shoes Photowall. And be sure to check out TOMS and their One for One movement!
